A student team at USC Viterbi, working with assistant professor of computer science Daniel Seita, has built a robotic hand called the MOTIF Hand. Designed to mimic how humans interact with the world, ...

A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming.

SOFT ROBOTIC ARMBAND GIVES PROSTHETIC HAND USERS NATURAL CONTROL A breakthrough from IIT and Imperial College London Now, researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) and Imperial ...

To build a “hand” for a robot apple picker, Joe Davidson first had to learn how to pick apples. After all, he was an engineer, not a farmer.

We’re working toward the day, probably a decade down the road, when a small manufacturing firm can hire people who know its business, are not programmers, but can buy a manufacturing robot and put it ...

And it requires a 48-V/200-W power supply. The robot hand is reported to benefit from precise torque control, with each of the fingers able to muster up to 10 N of fingertip pinch force.

The hand, developed at Switzerland’s EPFL, can detach from an arm, crawl around on its own, grab small objects, and bring them back before reattaching itself.
