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.

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 ...

Now a number of hand-focused roboticists are building machines with the same childlike motivation to explore, fail, and learn through their hands.

It’s easy to forget how amazing the dexterity and anatomy of our own hands are–until you learn how difficult they are to replicate for machines. MIT has made big strides in robotic hands this ...

You can, for instance, make a robotic hand try lots and lots of ways to manipulate a cube in simulation until it learns the best grip on its own.

Ok, let's get started designing a robotic hand in order to learn some 2D CNC design techniques. Sure we could have made something boring like an acrylic computer case, but let's face it, fake ...

A more brainlike artificial neural network is helping make robot hands smarter than ever. Check this one out in action.

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

Researchers backed by Elon Musk have found a novel way to use software to teach a human-like robotic hand new tasks.

The robot learned entirely free of human demonstrations and also thanks to its accumulation of 100 years' worth of experience in a short amount of time.

See how I troubleshoot and reinforce my 3D printed robot hand to keep it functional and durable. A mix of problem-solving, ...
