A robotic hand developed at EPFL surpasses the limits of human dexterity with a dual-thumbed, reversible-palm design that can ...

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...

Engineers have showcased a robotic hand that can detach from its arm and move independently to grasp objects. The hand, developed by a team at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) ...

The result is something akin to Thing from “The Addams Family” — with all the scamper and skill, but none of the skin or ...

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 before reattaching. View on euronews ...

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 ...
