The Shadow Hand robotic appendage is primarily built for machine learning projects with a focus on dexterity — but its creators want you to know just how tough it is. When you purchase through links ...

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 ...

Westborough, Massachusetts is a quiet town of 22,000, 40 minutes by car southeast of Boston. BOS27 is among the town’s newer residents. The 350,000-square-foot Amazon facility opened its doors a ...

How does a robotic arm or a prosthetic hand learn a complex task like grasping and rotating a ball? Researchers address the classic 'nature versus nurture' question. The research demonstrates that the ...

A research paper by scientists at the University of Coimbra proposed a soft robotic hand that composed of soft actuator cores and an exoskeleton, featuring a multimaterial design aided by finite ...

Fourteen-year-old Thomas Aldous snagged the first-place Samueli Foundation Prize — and the $25,000 that goes with it — at the 2022 Broadcom MASTERS, a national science and engineering competition for ...
