A team of researchers in Switzerland released details of a perfect spooky season project: a disembodied robot hand that uses ...

This project develops a pneumatic soft-finger system that can adapt its grasp in real time using embedded sensors and closed-loop pressure control. Each finger is cast from silicone using a ...

Now, there's a robot Thing; a mechanical, disembodied hand that scuttles around on its fingertips. The Robo-Thing (that's not ...

Harvard's GRASP claims a 94.2% success rate (1,352 tasks) in reproducing robot hand movements, which is consistent with the ...

Although it wasn’t apparently designed with this in mind, it seems particularly fortuitous that this walking robotic hand was released in time for Halloween. Designed by researchers from ETH Zurich, ...

Or, more specifically, an Addams Family -inspired detached robot hand. Like its gothic sitcom predecessor, this fully articulated appendage can balance on its own fingertips and creep around. This ...

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 ...

TL;DR: Humanity's most complex piece of biological machinery – the hand – remains the blueprint for robotics' most challenging unsolved problem. If engineers can crack it, the robots taking shape in ...
