Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your friends at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We ...

Only a couple weeks removed from seeing a bunch of weird robots at CES, scientists have unveiled a new innovation in the world of creepy robotics — the detachable crawling robotic hand. Of course, one ...

A new type of robotic hand developed at The University of Texas at Austin demonstrates such sensitive touch that it can grasp objects as fragile as a potato chip or a raspberry without crushing them.

This robotic hand crawls away, grabs objects and reattaches In tests, the hand was able to detach from its arm, crawl like a small multi-legged robot, and retrieve up to three objects in sequence ...

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. (Nanowerk News) When you ...

Explore how a better robotic hand can be designed using 3D printing, animatronics, and smart mechanical engineering. This project focuses on improving movement, flexibility, and functionality for ...

If The Addams Family was a science fiction show, “Thing” might look something like this. Researchers have developed a robotic hand that can not only skitter about on its fingertips, it can also bend ...

Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

Sanctuary AI's Phoenix robot is certainly an impressive beast, with hydraulically actuated hands that are incredibly dextrous. Well, those hands have recently become even more useful, as each one is ...

Tracking hand movement is far more difficult than basic skeletal tracking but that’s exactly what researchers at Microsoft are accomplishing. The system is called Handpose and could revolutionize ...

TL;DR: Humanity's most complex piece of biological machinery – the hand – remains the blueprint for robotics' most challenging unsolved problem. If engineers can crack it, the robots taking shape in ...
