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.” ...

Researchers have designed a low-cost, energy-efficient robotic hand that can grasp a range of objects -- and not drop them -- using just the movement of its wrist and the feeling in its 'skin'.

The robot is given a specific goal, such as re-positioning a 12-sided shape in its hand so that a specific corner points upwards, but it’s never told how to move its digits to manipulate that ...

Building on a platform Meta developed to integrate sensors on a single robot hand, the upcoming Allegro Hand will feature control boards that encode data from the tactile sensors onto a host computer.

Using novel neural networks developed by OpenAI, this robotic hand is able to learn how to solve a Rubik's Cube on its own.

A robotic hand solving Rubik’s cube has all the makings of hype headlines, but underlying OpenAI’s latest achievement is some subtler, more interesting science.

Step 2: Maximize the robot’s hand-eye coordination The study authors scattered the Stefan chair’s five-piece frame within reach of the robot arms, along with a rack of wooden dowels.

The AI then trained itself in a computer simulation, learning how the movements of the hand affect the cube and how gravity affects the cube as it’s being manipulated.
