Scientists have developed a robotic prosthetic hand that offers precision fingertip control. The ultra-light system offers shape-adaptive gripping through simple motion commands. Using an innovative ...

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'.

Growing up, we learn to push just hard enough to move a box and to avoid touching a hot pan with our bare hands. Now, a robot hand has been developed that also has these instincts.

Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical sensors can't take in an item's entire shape when it's in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost technique ...
