Robots are starting to gain something that looks a lot like a sense of touch, and in some cases even a crude version of pain.

The researchers behind the recent work, based in China, decided to implement something similar for an artificial skin that ...

If you accidentally put your hand on a hot object, you'll naturally pull it away fast, before you have to think about it.

A soft patch on the arm could soon let you steer robots with simple hand movements, even while your whole body is in motion.

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 grip ...

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 ...

Scientists at the University of Texas at Arlington, for example, have built a soft exoskeleton that fastens onto the arm and, in one recent study, reduced how hard participants’ biceps and triceps had ...

Inspired by the effortless way humans handle objects without seeing them, engineers have developed a new approach that enables a robotic hand to rotate objects solely through touch, without relying on ...

The term “robot” conjures up images from myriad science fiction movies, usually of robots trying to destroy humanity. So far, we are safe, at least for the time being. Our present-day robotics ...

If one of the finger modules suffers fatal damage during limit-pushing AI experiments, it can be removed from the base module (which connects to a robot arm) and replaced with a fresh one for minimum ...
