With its opposable thumb, multiple joints and gripping skin, human hands are often considered to be the pinnacle of dexterity ...

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 ...

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 ...

What has opposable thumbs and is the most dexterous tool on the planet? The human hand, obviously. Well … not anymore. At least according to engineers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne’s ...

Robotic hands, on the other hand, are mechanical devices designed to mimic the functionality of human hands. They are typically comprised of fingers and thumbs, which can be manipulated to grasp, hold ...
