After the plastic balls, the hand graduated to attempting to pick up bubble wrap, a computer mouse, and even a peach. According to their results, the hand successfully managed 11 of the 14 ...

Using their technique, the researchers built a robotic hand that can smoothly rotate a wide array of objects, from small toys, cans, and even fruits and vegetables, without bruising or squishing them.

Using light-conductive materials, researchers have built a robot hand that can sense shapes and textures. Soft robotics holds promise for better prosthetics or machines with a more "human" touch.

Using electroencephalography (EEG), they’ve enabled real-time, thought-driven control of a robotic hand at the level of individual fingers. Deep learning drives fine control ...

More information: Yidan Ding et al, EEG-based brain-computer interface enables real-time robotic hand control at individual finger level, Nature Communications (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025 ...

Using flexible 3D printed fingers, a new hand developed by the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab is less likely to break fragile objects when it picks it up. The robot hand can ...

A robotic hand solving Rubik’s cube has all the makings of hype headlines, but underlying OpenAI’s latest achievement is some subtler, more interesting science.

This isn't the first time mouse cells have been used to power wild biohybrid tech. Scientists in January revealed that they made a tiny robot walk using mouse muscles and 3D printing to build a ...
