Case Studies: AI-built Robotic Hands in Action There are several impressive examples of AI-built robotic hands in action. For instance, the “Nano Hand” project is a remarkable demonstration of a ...

Researchers from the Italian Institute of Technology and Brown University in the US have found that people can “sense” a robot’s hand as an extension of their body. They found that performing a joint ...

Researchers at MIT CSAIL have created a new soft robotic system, RoboGrocery that uses vision technology and soft tactile sensors to determine how to pack an item without damage. Researchers from ...

In September 2005, MD+DI published a story about researchers at Michigan State University who had built a robot designed for remote breast exams. The robot combined ultrasound technology and video ...

The Shadow Hand robotic appendage is primarily built for machine learning projects with a focus on dexterity — but its creators want you to know just how tough it is. When you purchase through links ...

Shellfish and robots might sound like they have nothing in common, but according to PhD candidate Aleix Costa, roboticists can learn a lot from nature. His research aims to bring these two worlds ...

A robotic hand can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you reach out your hand ...

The human hand is amazingly complex. With 34 muscles, more than 30 tendons, and 27 bones, hands can grasp objects, express emotion, create works of art, and accomplish many of the tasks that drive ...

The Genesis Project represents a significant leap forward in the convergence of generative AI and physics simulation, reshaping the way robots are trained and developed. By integrating innovative ...
