EPFL's robotic appendage features fingers that bend both ways and is designed to retrieve objects from spaces too hazardous ...

Unlike traditional robotic grippers fixed to stationary arms, this dual-mode manipulator functions both as a conventional end effector and as an independent mobile tool. Once undocked, ...

The Utah team turned to AI to solve the problem. By integrating proximity and pressure sensors into a commercial bionic hand, and then training an artificial neural network on grasping postures, the ...

The AI is pre-programmed to guide the hand into different postures, using pressure and proximity sensors Amputees then drive the AI, allowing them to more deftly control the bionic hand FRIDAY, Dec.

From bionic limbs to sentient androids, robotic entities in science fiction blur the boundaries between biology and machine. Real-life robots are far behind in comparison. While we aren’t going to ...

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 ...
