A robotic hand with fingernail-like tips lets robots peel fruit, open lids and pick up thin, flat objects with more precise, human-like dexterity.

A wave of recent research has brought robotic touch sensitivity closer to human fingertips than ever before, driven by ...

Researchers have developed an ultrasensitive, human-like robotic ‘finger’ capable of safely performing routine physical examinations like a medical doctor would. They say the ‘robodoctor’ could be ...

Students presented projects at the 70th Greater New Orleans Science and Engineering Fair last week. Here, we highlight a few.

If you’re going to kill animals for food, don’t waste their parts – that’s just rude. Use everything, snout-to-tail, and not just bones for glue or stomachs for drink-bags, either. Get creative! And ...

Tesollo said its DG-5F-S robotic hand supports precise grasping and manipulation motions required for humanoid robots.

The new design could be adapted to sort warehouse products, unload heavy cargo, or help lift patients out of bed.

A flexible foam sensor built from silver selenide detects temperature and pressure simultaneously, enabling a robotic gripper ...

A four-foot-tall machine just completed a grueling autonomous trek in sub-zero temperatures. Here is how this breakthrough could change the future.
