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 ...

Growing up, we learn to push just hard enough to move a box and to avoid touching a hot pan with our bare hands. Now, a robot hand has been developed that also has these instincts.

Ten years ago, Easton LaChappelle was a teen watching YouTube videos in his Colorado bedroom on how to build robot arms from LEGOs. Today, he's the founder of Unlimited Tomorrow, a company that ...

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 ...

Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, engineers have developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate objects solely through touch, without relying on ...

In this video I show you how to make robotic arm from cardboard, it's quite fun to plaw with. Especially by moving coca cola cans. You need: cardboard, 8 syringes with rubber piston, old battery, 4 ...

Noninvasive brain tech is transforming how people interact with robotic devices. Instead of relying on muscle movement, this technology allows a person to control a robotic hand by simply thinking ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The man — who had a stroke years earlier and cannot speak or move — was able to hold, move and drop objects just by imagining himself doing so Getty Researchers at UC San Francisco (UCSF) have created ...
