What has opposable thumbs and is the most dexterous tool on the planet? The human hand, obviously. Well … not anymore. At least according to engineers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne’s ...

The latest robot creation is rooted in human anatomy. Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne have developed a robotic hand with a broader range of motion than anything ...

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...

Hands can grab things, build things, communicate, and we control them intuitively with nothing more than a thought. To those who miss a hand, a prosthesis can be a life-changing tool for carrying out ...

Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, engineers have developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate objects solely through touch, without relying on ...

If The Addams Family was a science fiction show, “Thing” might look something like this. Researchers have developed a robotic hand that can not only skitter about on its fingertips, it can also bend ...
