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 ...

A newly developed soft robotic finger with a sophisticated sense of touch could one day help your doctor perform routine office examinations, a new study suggests. The finger can take a person's pulse ...

Skin has traditionally been reserved for animals -- until now. For the first time, scientists learned to grow humanlike skin on a robotic finger using cells, a new study revealed. Other WRAL Top ...

Researchers have developed a soft robotic 'finger' with a sophisticated sense of touch that can perform routine doctor office examinations, including taking a patient's pulse and checking for abnormal ...

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.

Public releases show the Office of Naval Research (ONR) funding at least two efforts aimed at improving robot hand dexterity and finger-level control: one focused on an underwater robotic gripper for ...

What makes a humanoid hand so fascinating? Imagine a robotic gripper delicately assembling intricate components on a factory floor or carefully holding fragile medical instruments during surgery.

Swiss robotics startup Mimic Robotics has unveiled the Mimic Hand M1, a dexterous robotic ...

While there are a number of optical systems that provide robotic hands with a sense of touch, most of those systems are flat, so they're confined to the fingertips. A new MIT system, however, works ...

Designed for precision and strength, 1X's latest robotic hands could help humanoid robots safely tackle everyday household and workplace tasks.
