Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

A groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They've created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical ...

Recent advancements in technology have revolutionized the world of assistive and medical tools, and prosthetic limbs are no exception. We've come a long way from the rigid, purely cosmetic prosthetics ...

Step inside the Soft Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich, and you find yourself in a space that is part children's nursery, part ...

A 16-year-old student from Bristol has built an anthropomorphic robotic hand entirely from Lego parts, and it performs almost as well as professional research models. Called the Educational SoftHand-A ...

At the Soft Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich, the scene looks less like a traditional engineering workshop and more like a child’s ...

Switzerland-based Mimic Robotics AG said Monday it has raised $16 million in seed funding from Elaia and Speedinvest to enable robotic hands to adapt to complex, high-precision tasks that conventional ...

What if the future of robotics and prosthetics could fit in the palm of your hand? Enter the Wuji Hand, a new innovation that redefines what’s possible in human-like motion and precision. With its 20 ...

Hands move constantly during conversation. They signal emotion, stress a point, and form full languages such as American Sign Language. Behind this everyday motion lies a complex challenge. Each human ...

Matt Carney was good at building robots — he just didn’t want to. While earning his PhD at MIT, he’d spent years studying mechanical engineering and biomechatronics in service of developing bionic ...
