The robot works in a simple manner, following a hand placed in front of the robot’s sensors. First, the robot checks for the presence of an object in front using the ultrasonic sensor.

Researchers at the University of Southern California recently developed the MOTIF (Multimodal Observation with Thermal, Inertial, and Force sensors) hand, a new robotic hand that could improve the ...

As difficult as it is for a human to learn ambidexterity, it’s quite easy to program into a humanoid robot. After all, a robot doesn’t need to overcome years of muscle memory. Giving a ...

A research team led by engineers with the University of California San Diego has shown off a robotic hand that can rotate an object in its palm using touch-based sensors rather than by sight.

Technology Delicate robot hands know just how hard to squeeze A robotic hand uses fingertip sensors and AI to determine how firmly to grip before closing in on an object, overcoming a persistent ...

To build their system, the researchers attached 16 touch sensors to the palm and fingers of a four-fingered robotic hand.

ETRI researchers have successfully developed a robotic finger capable of precisely detecting omnidirectional pressure. The development of intelligent robotic hand technology, which can adjust its ...

Researchers have overcome a challenge in robotics by developing a sensor that can slide over braille, accurately reading it at twice human speed. The tech could be incorporated into robot hands ...

Meta says it's partnering with sensor firm GelSight and Wonik Robotics, a South Korean robotics company, to commercialize tactile sensors for AI.

Key Takeaways Johns Hopkins biomedical engineers created a prosthetic hand that can grip objects with near-human precision skill. Unlike traditional robotic hands, this bioinspired hand combines rigid ...
