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 ...

Prosthetic hands have long struggled to replicate the dexterity and functionality of natural hands, often limiting users to a single grasp function at a time. This limitation has made everyday tasks, ...

Scientists at the University of Texas at Arlington, for example, have built a soft exoskeleton that fastens onto the arm and, ...

Newly created soft-rigid robotic fingers incorporate powerful sensors along their entire length, enabling them to produce a robotic hand that could accurately identify objects after only one grasp.

Researchers at MIT CSAIL have created a new soft robotic system, RoboGrocery that uses vision technology and soft tactile sensors to determine how to pack an item without damage. Researchers from ...

Generally speaking, robotic "hands" vary between rigid devices with a firm grasp, and softer, gentler gadgets that are a bit wimpier. Now, however, scientists have created an appendage that they claim ...

A soft robotic hand can pick up nearly a dozen objects and adjust the way it is holding them when they start to slip. Many robotic arms are good at picking up objects, but in-the-moment adjustments ...

Case Western Reserve University biorobotics pioneers Hillel Chiel and Roger Quinn join scientist alum Vickie Webster-Wood from Carnegie Mellon on new project Two Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) ...

A team of researchers has 3D printed a soft robotic hand that is agile enough to play Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. -- and win! A team of researchers from the University of Maryland has 3D printed a ...

Engineers have created an inflatable robot so nimble it can beat the classic Nintendo game Super Mario Bros. What distinguishes Sochol's design is that it uses new fluidic circuits to control machines ...
