A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you ...

Japanese researchers have developed the first biohybrid hand capable of performing complex gestures using human muscle tissue grown in a laboratory. This could pave the way for unprecedented uses.

The Apex Hand is a five-finger robotic system designed to replicate the dexterity and functionality of the human hand. It ...

A robotic hand can manipulate complicated objects such as toy planes and Rubik’s cubes without dropping them, thanks to a sophisticated computer algorithm. Haozhi Qi at the University of California, ...

Programmable matter and robotic systems represent a dynamic frontier in materials science and robotics, where discrete, often modular units are designed to change their physical properties and ...

Folding structures are widely used in robot design as an intuitive and efficient shape-morphing mechanism, with applications explored in space and aerospace robots, soft robots, and foldable grippers ...
