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

The arm’s software can accept commands through a programming language, via potentiometers, an infrared remote, or–the really interesting part–through spoken commands.

A helping hand for robotic arms A clinical trial for a robotic arm based on neuromorphic computing could increase independence for spinal, neuromuscular injury patients, writes Caroline Hayes. An ...

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.

This is the impressive moment a robotic hand grasps objects just like a human. Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) have created a robotic hand that can pick ...

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.

Designing a human-inspired hand that can bend backward to pick up a broad range of objects and detach itself to crawl over to another firmly plants it inside the uncanny valley.

A highly dexterous, human-like robotic hand with fingertip touch sensors can delicately hold eggs, use tweezers to pick up computer chips and crush drink cans.

Thinking outside the box, engineers at Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) developed a "dumb" robotic hand that can easily pick up such objects.
