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.

“The hand is very simple, but it can pick up a lot of objects with the same strategy,” they said in the statement. While by no means perfect, the simplified robotic hand could prove useful in ...

In the case of the CREATE Lab's robotic ADAPT hand (Adaptive Dexterous Anthropomorphic Programmable sTiffness), the compliant materials are relatively simple: strips of silicone wrapped around a ...

A new study reveals how a soft, compliant robotic hand, built with silicone skin, springs, and bendable joints, can self-organize grasps without needing precise environmental data or complex ...

A robotic hand can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant ...

To build their system, the researchers attached 16 touch sensors to the palm and fingers of a four-fingered robotic hand. Each sensor costs about $12 and serves a simple function: detect whether ...

Ordinarily, the fingers of a robotic hand are moved by cables connected to electric motors. It's a reasonably simple, effective and inexpensive setup, as long as the hand is only required to ...

For an AI, coming up with a set of directions is the easy part. It can tell the robot what to do, but most robots cannot provide much in the way of feedback. The new robot hand goes beyond that ...
