“We’re combining the strengths of both rigid and soft robotics to mimic the human hand,” Sankar said. “The human hand isn’t completely rigid or purely soft—it’s a hybrid ...

Holy cow. We’ve seen lots of soft robotics before, but this is some really cool stuff! You see, [Mike] is actually planning on building an inexpensive prosthetic robot hand using this technology.

While soft robotic hands with sensing capabilities have shown promise, existing designs primarily focused on finger sensitivity while neglecting the palm's crucial role in manipulation.

How does a robotic arm or a prosthetic hand learn a complex task like grasping and rotating a ball? Researchers address the classic 'nature versus nurture' question. The research demonstrates that the ...

To tackle this issue, Sriramana Sankar at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, and his colleagues developed a prosthetic hand that unites a rigid internal skeleton with soft robotic ...

Over the past decades, roboticists have introduced a wide range of systems that can move in various complex environments, ...

Imagine a robotic hand that coordinates its palm and fingers with human-like precision -- not only grasping objects with ...
