The robotic hand, named ADAPT (Adaptive Dexterous Anthropomorphic Programmable Stiffness), can pick up items without knowing their exact position in space.

Cassidy Parrish had a problem to solve close to home. When her father’s hand pain grew worse, making everyday tasks like ...

Programmable matter and robotic systems represent a dynamic frontier in materials science and robotics, where discrete, often modular units are designed to change their physical properties and ...

A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming.
