A soft robotic hand can pick up nearly a dozen objects and adjust the way it is holding them when they start to slip. Many robotic arms are good at picking up objects, but in-the-moment adjustments ...

NASA astronaut Jonny Kim took this photo on July 23, 2025, as the International Space Station orbited 259 miles above a ...

In October, a student presented a robotic hand made entirely from LEGOs at the 2025 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in Hangzhou, China. But Jared Lepora isn’t in ...

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...

Researchers have unveiled a robotic hand, the F-TAC Hand, which integrates high-resolution tactile sensing across an unprecedented 70% of its surface area, allowing for human-like adaptive grasping.

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 ...

[Ivan Miranda] isn’t afraid to dream big, and hopes to soon build a 3D printed giant robot he can ride around on. As the first step towards that goal, he’s built a giant printed hand big enough to ...

Today might be the golden age of humanoid robot development. Tesla is building Optimus, Figure AI is working on Figure 01, which it hopes will be the “world’s first commercially-viable autonomous ...

Tesla has unveiled a new and upgraded hand for its Optimus humanoid robot and released an impressive albeit still teleoperated demonstration. The Optimus program is somewhat controversial for Tesla.

An curved arrow pointing right. Researchers at Swiss university ETH Zurich created a humanlike robotic hand using new 3D printing technology to create more sophisticated prosthetics. More from News ...

Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical sensors can't take in an item's entire shape when it's in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost technique ...
