Researchers have successfully created a robotic hand with bones, ligaments and tendons using 3D printing for the first time. A team from ETH Zurich in Switzerland were able to accomplish the complex ...

To build a “hand” for a robot apple picker, Joe Davidson first had to learn how to pick apples. After all, he was an engineer, not a farmer. “Picking apples seems like a very simple thing to do,” ...

Engineers have built a detachable robotic hand that can crawl into hard-to-reach spaces to retrieve objects. The spider-like device can be fitted with multiple fingers and is reversible, meaning it ...

A hand crawling around, detached from an arm and seemingly with a life of its own. It might sound familiar to fans of The Addams Family or Wednesday, but this "Thing" isn't fantasy, it's a tech ...

Sanctuary AI's Phoenix robot is certainly an impressive beast, with hydraulically actuated hands that are incredibly dextrous. Well, those hands have recently become even more useful, as each one is ...

A California-based company has introduced a robotic hand that can perform multiple tasks. Named Aero Hand Open, the TetherIA’s open-source, underactuated robotic hand is meant to solve the robotic ...

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 ...

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 ...

The very capable robotic picker-upper can grasp things on both sides and roam around freely. By Ari Daniel As a mother of three, Aude Billard, a roboticist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ...

In tests, the hand was able to detach from its arm, crawl like a small multi-legged robot, and retrieve up to three objects in sequence before reattaching. A hand crawling around, detached from an arm ...
