Humans can pick up soft or small objects with ease, but that is not the case for robots, which have difficulty replicating the delicate movements of the human hand. When they do not know how strong a ...

What if building a robotic arm didn’t require a massive budget or a team of engineers? Imagine a device capable of delivering smooth, precise movements for studio applications, constructed for less ...

While we typically think of robots as being made from hard, rigid materials, soft robotics aims to build robotic devices out of more flexible materials that mimic properties found in living organisms.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
