A tactile sensing robotic hand inspired by fish fin mechanics enables precise control of grip force, helping robots manipulate fragile objects without visual ...

The robotics company Boston Dynamics has given its humanoid robot Atlas a three-fingered gripper that covers a large part of the functional range of a five-fingered robotic hand. This is possible ...

A new type of robotic hand developed at The University of Texas at Austin demonstrates such sensitive touch that it can grasp ...

(Nanowerk News) To develop a more human-like robotic gripper, it is necessary to provide sensing capabilities to the fingers. However, conventional sensors compromise the mechanical properties of soft ...

Robots with gecko-inspired hands are becoming more important during the rise of on-demand-everything. That's prompting a leader in robotic end-of-arm tooling to expand its lineup of the ...

ODENSE, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OnRobot, the makers of a full line of plug-and-produce robotics tools for collaborative applications, continues to drive innovation with the release of the compact, ...

One particularly active area of robotics research involves the exploration of soft parts. Be they legs, artificial muscles or the grippers used to grasp objects, these more malleable components are ...

Human hands are remarkably skilled at manipulating a range of objects. We can pick up an egg or a strawberry without smashing it. We can hammer a nail. One characteristic that allows us to perform a ...
