Charles R. Goulding and Preeti Sulibhavi connect the dots between a new mass-produced robotic hand, decades of end-effector ...

The robot hand is reported to benefit from precise torque control, with each of the fingers able to muster up to 10 N of fingertip pinch force. The four joints of each finger are driven by motors ...

Noninvasive brain tech is transforming how people interact with robotic devices. Instead of relying on muscle movement, this technology allows a person to control a robotic hand by simply thinking ...

A new robot hand provides extremely fast and flexible finger movements, while also being tough enough to survive intense damage. That durability helps the hand, which is already being used in Google ...

Researchers researchers bring noninvasive EEG-based BCI one step closer to everyday use by demonstrating real-time brain decoding of individual finger movement intentions and control of a dexterous ...

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 ...

Assistive robotics and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are rapidly transforming how people with disabilities regain independence. These technologies enable users to control external devices like ...

The primitive five-fingered human hand is in need of an upgrade, according to researchers at MIT. So they’ve created a wrist-mounted robot that adds two long fingers to your hand so you can perform ...
