A new system called TactileAloha blends vision with touch, boosting robot dexterity by 11% in tricky tasks like fastening ...

Building an ultra-accurate robot hand has long been the Holy Grail for robotics experts. Now the world's most advanced robot hand, the so-called Dexterous Hand, has gotten even better -- thanks to ...

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.

Science The Perfect Robot Starts With Human-Like Hands Robotic hands need better agility, reliability, and strength. by The Conversation April 26, 2017 ...

Engineers and doctors at Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University have achieved significant advances in training robotic surgeons to have similar skill levels to human doctors.

This Robot Hand Taught Itself How to Grab Stuff Like a Human The system, developed by OpenAI, ends up “inventing” characteristic grasps that we humans already commonly use to handle objects ...

While still lab-bound, the hand's ability to mimic human gestures—like winning at rock, paper, scissors—signals a future where robots move with the nuance of living tissue.

With that in mind, we present a robot hand, shaped like a human skeleton’s, that can play jingle bells: Credit: Josie Hughes To paraphrase a Russian proverb, the marvel is not that the robot skeleton ...

WATCH the moment an eerie ghost-white humanoid robot with water-powered muscles comes to life. The machine flails its arms and turns its faceless head around almost like a person in a scary glimpse… ...

Open AI — a non-profit started by Elon Musk — has found a way to programme a robot hand so that it can nimbly manipulate an object using human-like movements it has taught itself.

In both the consumer and industrial worlds, scientists are working to make robots more human like. But while there are some common goals—and even similar applications—the vision can be quite ...
