Newly created soft-rigid robotic fingers incorporate powerful sensors along their entire length, enabling them to produce a robotic hand that could accurately identify objects after only one grasp.

A research paper by scientists at the University of Coimbra proposed a soft robotic hand that composed of soft actuator cores and an exoskeleton, featuring a multimaterial design aided by finite ...

Prosthetic hands have long struggled to replicate the dexterity and functionality of natural hands, often limiting users to a single grasp function at a time. This limitation has made everyday tasks, ...

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 ...

Scientists have made considerable progress with soft robots used for assistive wearables, rehabilitative technologies and more. Powered by compressed air, they offer advantages over regular robots ...

The paper on the core technology achievement of the “robot hand”, which is as delicate and flexible as a human hand, by the research team of Professor Dongwon Yoon from the Department of Robotics and ...

A soft robotic hand can pick up nearly a dozen objects and adjust the way it is holding them when they start to slip. Many robotic arms are good at picking up objects, but in-the-moment adjustments ...

Case Western Reserve University biorobotics pioneers Hillel Chiel and Roger Quinn join scientist alum Vickie Webster-Wood from Carnegie Mellon on new project Two Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) ...

The team created a soft, bubble-like fingertip for the robotic hand that deflates a bit when it makes contact with an object, creating an adhesive bond. Adding a bit more air releases the bond. With ...
