Designing an anthropomorphic robotic hand seems to make a lot of sense — right up until the point that you realize just how complex the human hand is. What works well in bone and sinew often doesn’t ...

Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

The hand was printed using a technique called slow-curing, which gives plastics more time to set and makes them more durable. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Recent advancements in technology have revolutionized the world of assistive and medical tools, and prosthetic limbs are no exception. We've come a long way from the rigid, purely cosmetic prosthetics ...

A robotic hand inspired by human skin can sense how hard an object is with a single digit’s touch and work out how much force is needed to grip it before the rest of the hand closes its grasp.

Anyone committed to building a particular skill is capable of experiencing the "ceiling effect," in which performance ...

An autonomous robotic system detects toxic heavy metals in water using self-powered nanosensors and ambient heat, enabling safe, real-time environmental monitoring without external power or manual ...
