Researchers have made remarkable advancements in robotics, particularly with the introduction of a human-like robotic finger capable of performing routine medical examinations similar to those ...

Researchers have developed an ultrasensitive, human-like robotic ‘finger’ capable of safely performing routine physical examinations like a medical doctor would. They say the ‘robodoctor’ could be ...

Human-level robot hand can pick up a pringle without breaking it - FORTE system could transform household robots, as well as ...

From Boston Dynamics’ Atlas to Google’s SayCan, most hand-wielding robots don’t have the dexterity necessary to “feel” what they’re holding. (If they did, maybe a 7-year-old boy wouldn’t have had his ...

Tesollo has commercialized a compact five-finger robotic hand designed to enable robots to perform more dexterous manipulation tasks in humanoid and industrial robotics systems. The new DG-5F-S hand ...

A newly developed soft robotic finger with a sophisticated sense of touch could one day help your doctor perform routine office examinations, a new study suggests. The finger can take a person's pulse ...

While the human hand, with four fingers and opposable thumb, is pretty darn awesome, it still falls woefully short when it comes to some tasks -- such as opening a soda bottle or peeling a banana. MIT ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Inspired by the human finger, MIT researchers have developed a robotic hand that uses high-resolution touch sensing to accurately identify an object after grasping it just one time.

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.
