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 ...

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 ...

A new robotic finger can sense what it’s holding using just a tiny built-in camera, replacing traditional force sensors with smart vision. This approach could make future robots safer, cheaper, 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.

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.
