Roboticists from the University of Tokyo have taken a tiny step toward creating the Terminator. They’ve built an articulated robot finger that’s seamlessly covered in living human skin. There are many ...

Researchers have developed a robotic appendage that looks and acts just like a regular human finger. Using a novel heating and cooling technique, it mimics the action of a human finger, and could lead ...

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 ...

The Chinese scientists said the dexterous hand could act as a ‘robodoctor’, like a physician - Hongbo Wang/SWNS A robotic finger that could find cancerous lumps under the skin has been invented by ...

Lately, we've seen some exciting advances in the development of robots that can interact with objects in interesting ways, ranging from grippers that work like elephant trunks to coil around odd items ...

While there are a number of optical systems that provide robotic hands with a sense of touch, most of those systems are flat, so they're confined to the fingertips. A new MIT system, however, works ...

When robots work in unstructured environments, the physical impact of bumps and collisions can be inevitable. The impact can damage the robots’ hardware systems. This is often the case for rigid multi ...

Researchers have developed a robotic gripper that combines the adhesive properties of gecko toes and the adaptability of air-powered soft robots to grasp a much wider variety of objects than the state ...
