A robotic hand can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you reach out your hand ...

In a recent study scheduled to be presented at the RoboSoft Conference, a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have built a robotic hand capable of sensing touch ...

A flexible electronic skin inspired by shark electroreception lets robotic hands identify object shapes and materials through both non-contact electrostatic scanning and touch-based sensing. (Nanowerk ...

July 25 (UPI) --A research team led by engineers with the University of California San Diego has shown off a robotic hand that can rotate an object in its palm using touch-based sensors rather than by ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Inspired by the human finger, MIT researchers have developed a robotic hand that uses high-resolution touch sensing to accurately identify an object after grasping it just one time.
