Researchers at the Zurich-based ETH public university, along with a US-based startup called Inkbit, have done the impossible. They’ve printed a robot hand complete with bones, ligaments and tendons ...

A robotic hand developed at UT Austin can pick up the most fragile items, like potato chips or eggs, without crushing them.

A robotic hand with reversible fingers can now crawl, grasp multiple objects, and reattach to an arm, combining manipulation and mobility in a single device. Study: A detachable crawling robotic hand.

The human hand is amazingly complex. With 34 muscles, more than 30 tendons, and 27 bones, hands can grasp objects, express emotion, create works of art, and accomplish many of the tasks that drive ...

Researchers at MIT CSAIL have created a new soft robotic system, RoboGrocery that uses vision technology and soft tactile sensors to determine how to pack an item without damage. Researchers from ...
