Recent AI models can perform creative mental tasks such as coding, writing and producing online content almost as well as humans. But when it comes to complex physical tasks, the human body can still ...

Robots already have us beat in some ways: They’re stronger, more consistent, and they never demand a lunch break. But when it comes to the senses, machines still struggle mightily. They can’t smell ...

(Nanowerk News) To develop a more human-like robotic gripper, it is necessary to provide sensing capabilities to the fingers. However, conventional sensors compromise the mechanical properties of soft ...

To develop a more human-like robotic gripper, it is necessary to provide sensing capabilities to the fingers. However, conventional sensors compromise the mechanical properties of soft robots. Now, ...

For decades researchers have worked to design robotic hands that mimic the dexterity of human hands in the ways they grasp and manipulate objects. However, these earlier robotic hands have not been ...

Robots are notoriously bad at handling thin, flexible objects like wires and ropes. Building robotic fingers capable of that kind of dexterity is just verging on the impossible. It’s difficult enough ...

Researchers have created a new device for smartphones called MobiLimb; it's a robotic appendage that is used to augment the mobile device. MobiLimb connects to the charge port on the bottom of a ...

Columbia Engineers first to demonstrate a robotic finger with a highly precise sense of touch over a complex, multicurved surface. New York, NY--February 26, 2020--Researchers at Columbia Engineering ...

Why and how a complicated robotic-finger design was improved by a research team. How this finger is used to dig into bulk materials to locate and “see” small objects. How the reflected image of the ...

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 ...
