Robots have made significant strides in automation, but in dynamic, unstructured environments such as ...

Humans use all surfaces of the hand for contact-rich manipulation. Robot hands, in contrast, typically use only the fingertips, which can limit dexterity. In a new study from the lab of Aaron Dollar, ...

Try to outplay an AI-enabled system at chess or outlast a robot worker operating in rooms filled with radiation and you’d ...

Engineers have created an ultrasound wristband that uses AI to track hand movements in real time. By imaging wrist tendons like "puppet strings," the wearable allows users to wirelessly control robots ...

A new sensor gives robots a human-like sense of touch, helping them handle objects safely while improving wearables and ...

While roboticists have introduced increasingly advanced systems over the past decades, most existing robots are not yet able to manipulate objects with the same dexterity and sensing ability as humans ...

Despite decades of technological progress, robots still can’t move as smoothly as humans – they drop objects, and struggle to ...

Engineers have created an inflatable robot so nimble it can beat the classic Nintendo game Super Mario Bros. What distinguishes Sochol's design is that it uses new fluidic circuits to control machines ...

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'.

In the midst of the co-development of artificial intelligence and robotic advancements, developing technologies that enable robots to efficiently perceive and respond to their surroundings like humans ...

The next time you’re scrolling your phone, take a moment to appreciate the feat: The seemingly mundane act is possible thanks to the coordination of 34 muscles, 27 joints, and over 100 tendons and ...

A Singapore-headquartered robotics firm claims a breakthrough is bringing machines closer to human-level dexterity.
