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 ...

Scientists in Italy have developed a flexible robotic arm modelled on the octopus, combining soft materials with touch-sensitive suction cups. Designed to work in crowded and delicate environments, ...

A new generation of robots is beginning to take shape, one that moves, senses, and adapts more like living creatures.

A flexible electronic skin inspired by shark electroreception lets robotic hands identify object shapes and materials through both non-contact electrostatic scanning and touch-based sensing. (Nanowerk ...

An AI-powered 3D vision system can help robots detect reflective, transparent, and low texture objects that often confuse ...

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.

In a recent study scheduled to be presented at the RoboSoft Conference, a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have built a robotic hand capable of sensing touch ...
