Using Biosignals to Control a Robotic Hand Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) student Robert Schloen talks about his independent project and what lessons he learned from the experience.

Robotic hacker [Andrea Trufini] apparently likes choices. Not only does his robotic arm have six degrees of freedom, but it has a variety of ways he can control it. The arm’s software can accept ...

Several programming languages are available: Java, Python, C++, C, ROS, and JavaScript. You can find the DexArm available in three kits, depending on the attachable modules you opt for.

A Helping Hand Zhengyang (Kris) Weng (MSR '25) brought a passion for the piano to MSR, where his independent project replicating a human hand could ultimately impact robots in hospital operating rooms ...

Robotic hands could only do what vast teams of engineers programmed them to do. Now they can learn more complex tasks on their own.

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.

Robot vacuum cleaner company iRobot has developed a surprisingly effective and inexpensive hand for DARPA's Autonomous Robotic Manipulation (ARM) program.

Robots will soon be everywhere – especially if ordinary objects can be turned into them. A computer program can now use 3D printing to convert household objects into hand-activated robots.
