As a robotics engineer at Carnegie Mellon University, he’s devoted his research to figuring out how hands work—and how to replicate them in machines.

Kenny Shaw/CMUUse your hands for a moment. Grab that bottle on your desk and unscrew the cap. Or get a pencil or pen and write your name. You might already be using your hand to read this story on ...

It is damn thorough, providing step-by-step instructions on how to make a variety of different designs, including a robotic hand: ...

Here’s our soft robot hand in action: This article was originally published in the May 2015 issue of Popular Science, under the title “Wave Hello To A Soft Robot Hand.” ...

Eindhoven researchers have developed a soft robotic ‘hand’ made from liquid crystals and graphene that could be used to design future surgical robots. The new work has just been published in the ...

So let's take a look at what's involved in prepping our CNC robot factory, shall we? Ok, let's get started designing a robotic hand in order to learn some 2D CNC design techniques.

The robots you see moving heavy parts around in a factory are made of steel and pneumatic components that make them strong and fast, but not very forgiving.

Yes, robots already play the trumpet, sort chemicals in labs, weld cars. But these bots are just following a script. Shift the pieces along an assembly line and the robot won't be able to build a ...

In a new paper today, OpenAI has released the latest results with its robotic hand, Dactyl. This time Dactyl has learned to solve a Rubik’s cube with one hand—once again through reinforcement ...
