At Sharpa, our mission is to build robots that are useful in our daily lives. We believe robots should help us handle ...

A new AI technique enables a robot to develop complex plans for manipulating an object using its entire hand, not just fingertips. This model can generate effective plans in about a minute using a ...

We've seen examples of robots mimicking humans, but now we're seeing robots that can autonomously teach themselves how to handle objects. Festo has developed a flexible robotic hand that uses ...

Imagine you want to carry a large, heavy box up a flight of stairs. You might spread your fingers out and lift that box with both hands, then hold it on top of your forearms and balance it against ...

In laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves ...

Researchers headed by a team at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University have developed a robot-assisted surgical technique that uses acoustic vortex tweezers to capture and move small ...

Forward-looking: Adobe has gone all-in on AI-based image generation and editing, introducing AI tools across its software stack and perhaps most impressively, doing so in a very timely manner. Ahead ...

Apple is researching technology to allow an "Apple Glass" user to not be constrained to fixed physical gestures or touch controls, and instead manipulate any object to alter what is visible on the ...
