Human hands are a wonder of nature and unmatched in the animal kingdom. They can twist caps, flick switches, handle tiny objects with ease, and perform thousands of tasks every day. Robot hands ...

A research team has developed a new soft tactile sensor with skin-comparable characteristics. A robotic gripper with the sensor mounted at the fingertip could accomplish challenging tasks such as ...

While roboticists have introduced increasingly advanced systems over the past decades, most existing robots are not yet able to manipulate objects with the same dexterity and sensing ability as humans ...

ETRI researchers have successfully developed a robotic finger capable of precisely detecting omnidirectional pressure. The development of intelligent robotic hand technology, which can adjust its grip ...

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...

The term “robot” conjures up images from myriad science fiction movies, usually of robots trying to destroy humanity. So far, we are safe, at least for the time being. Our present-day robotics ...

Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have engineered a breakthrough in robotic vision.

Yet the illusion is fragile. DroidUp claims Moya’s walking resembles a human’s with ‘92% accuracy,’ but demonstrations still ...
