A new type of robotic hand developed at The University of Texas at Austin demonstrates such sensitive touch that it can grasp objects as fragile as a potato chip or a raspberry without crushing them.

A hand crawling around, detached from an arm and seemingly with a life of its own. It might sound familiar to fans of The Addams Family or Wednesday, but this "Thing" isn't fantasy, it's a tech ...

MIT complains that designing a robot hand is time-consuming and takes a lot of iterations. They want to improve that using a unique approach by giving a modular hand tactile sensors. They claim this ...

A robotic hand with fingernail-like tips lets robots peel fruit, open lids and pick up thin, flat objects with more precise, human-like dexterity.

Introduction to EPFL's robotic arm and detachable hand. How the robotic hand was developed. How the hand can grasp and carry objects. Researchers at EPFL's (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) ...

MIT researchers have created an interactive design pipeline that streamlines and simplifies the process of crafting a customized robotic hand with tactile sensors. Typically, a robotics expert may ...

Korean researchers have created a very realistic and capable robot hand that looks very promising. It is strong (34N of grip strength) and reasonably lightweight (1.1 kg), too. There are several ...
