Roboticists from the University of Tokyo have taken a tiny step toward creating the Terminator. They’ve built an articulated robot finger that’s seamlessly covered in living human skin. There are many ...

Researchers have developed a robotic appendage that looks and acts just like a regular human finger. Using a novel heating and cooling technique, it mimics the action of a human finger, and could lead ...

Human hands are a wonder of nature and unmatched in the animal kingdom. They can twist caps, flick switches, handle tiny objects with ease, and perform thousands of tasks every day. Robot hands ...

When robots work in unstructured environments, the physical impact of bumps and collisions can be inevitable. The impact can damage the robots’ hardware systems. This is often the case for rigid multi ...

Newly created soft-rigid robotic fingers incorporate powerful sensors along their entire length, enabling them to produce a robotic hand that could accurately identify objects after only one grasp.
