Researchers at the Zurich-based ETH public university, along with a US-based startup called Inkbit, have done the impossible. They’ve printed a robot hand complete with bones, ligaments and tendons ...

Recent advancements in technology have revolutionized the world of assistive and medical tools, and prosthetic limbs are no exception. We've come a long way from the rigid, purely cosmetic prosthetics ...

A groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They've created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical ...

Oregon State University researchers have created an artificial environment that simulates apple trees to collect data on its robot hand, regardless of growing season. This fake apple is attached via a ...

Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

Anyone committed to building a particular skill is capable of experiencing the "ceiling effect," in which performance plateaus after years of training. For hobbyists, this is frustrating; for ...

A robotic hand inspired by human skin can sense how hard an object is with a single digit’s touch and work out how much force is needed to grip it before the rest of the hand closes its grasp.

If you are thinking of building your very own desktop robot arm and were intrigued by the project published yesterday which took you through the process of creating a mini robotic arm using Arduino.

An autonomous robotic system detects toxic heavy metals in water using self-powered nanosensors and ambient heat, enabling safe, real-time environmental monitoring without external power or manual ...
