In tests, a knee-like joint optimized with the new method corrected misalignment by 99 percent compared with a standard joint. A two-finger robotic gripper designed the same way could hold over three ...

Consider the marvelous physics of the human knee. The largest hinge joint in the body, it has two rounded bones held together ...

What has opposable thumbs and is the most dexterous tool on the planet? The human hand, obviously. Well … not anymore. At least according to engineers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne’s ...

But first comes the beta test. Ulta has agreed to pilot the machines in select stores, where customers can get free manicures while 10Beauty gathers real-world data. Human nail techs stand by to fix ...

Switching between IDE, terminal, and app keeps context across tools.

We introduce TASTE-Rob: 1) a dataset with 100,856 task-oriented hand-object interaction videos, 2) a three-stage pose-refinement video generation pipeline. With the above contributions, TASTE-Rob is ...

That was three years ago, and since then, campus robots, billboards and an explosion of campus commercialization have cheapened the lifestyle of our campus and community.

Foundational Concepts in Programming Industrial Robots. Before you can get a robot to do anything useful, you need to ...

Abstract: Robotic dexterous manipulation is a challenging problem due to high degrees of freedom (DoFs) and complex contacts of multifingered robotic hands. Many existing deep reinforcement ...

Abstract: This letter presents a modular coupled tendon-driven robotichand that employs a 2 motor 2 degrees-of-freedom (2M2D) coupled tendon driven joint module, in which two motors operate in a ...

REDMOND, Wash. — The Redmond Police Department (RPD) says officers gave a man a warning after he was seen walking in a roadway on December 23. The man told the officers he was hungry and asked if ...
