The robotic hand can crawl around on its own, grab small objects, and bring them back to the arm. The robotic hand can crawl around on its own, grab small objects, and bring them back to the arm. is a ...

A robotic arm capable of mimicking hand gestures through data analysis of the mechanical activity of the muscles, using wearable piezoelectric sensors was developed. Piezoelectric discs were placed in ...

In the last few years, experimental robotic limbs have made great advances, promising people who are paralyzed or have lost a limb the return of some sorely missed freedom. In 2012, a man with one leg ...

The BionicSoftHand should rotate a 12-sided cube so that a previously defined side points upward at the end. The human hand boasts a unique combination of power, dexterity, and fine motor skills. We ...

A highly dexterous, human-like robotic hand with fingertip touch sensors can delicately hold eggs, use tweezers to pick up computer chips and crush drink cans. The hand could eventually be used as a ...

Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as enthralled with the wonders of the universe as she is. When she's not daydreaming about flying through space, she's daydreaming ...

It may seem sometimes that drummers have more arms than the rest of us, but of course they only have the two — and losing one of those can mean the end of their career. A new robotic prosthesis could ...

Carnegie Mellon’s Biorobotics Lab is probably best known as the birthplace of the modular snake robot. Initially designed to squeeze into tight spots for search and rescue missions and infrastructure ...

Researchers created a novel 3D printed robotic replica of a human spine modified to include an artificial disc implant with a soft magnetic sensor array to enable surgeons to preview the effects of ...
