We’ve used slime, liquid metal, and even bugs to create robots—why not try wood, too? Researchers at the National University of Singapore and China’s Northeast Forest University have teamed up to ...

A robot hand made from wood could be used in extremely hot environments while still maintaining a delicate touch. Most robotic hand grippers are made from soft plastics, which can pick up objects ...

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 ...

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 ...

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - In this week’s Tech Tuesday, our partners at UF Innovate and SCAD Media highlight Dr. Eric Du and his lab at UF’s Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, who are working on ...

Assistive robotics and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are rapidly transforming how people with disabilities regain independence. These technologies enable users to control external devices like ...

SEVEN NEWS. WE ARE COUNTING DOWN TO THE 101ST BURNING OF ZOZOBRA WITH SOMETHING NEW. THIS YEAR, HE’LL HAVE A ROBOTIC HAND DESIGNED AND BUILT IN NEW MEXICO. TODD KURTZ TAKES US BEHIND THE SCENES.

A 3D printer that can produce complex systems of bendy and rigid materials, such as a robotic hand or an artificial heart, could be used to make more lifelike robots. Robert Katzschmann at the Swiss ...

Have you ever wondered why robots are unable to walk and move their bodies as fluidly as we do? Some robots can run, jump, or dance with greater efficiency than humans, but their body movements also ...
