Called HandBot, it’s a D.I.Y. robotic hand which can recognize your hand gestures and mimic them back to you, or compete against you in a classic game of rock-paper-scissors. To do this, it uses some ...

Strictly speaking that should be robot hand and eye, since, as you might have guessed, it uses a high speed vision system that identifies, within a millisecond, the move being made by the human player ...

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized many sectors, including robotics. One of the most fascinating applications of this technology is in the design and construction of fully ...

Remember that high speed robot from last year, that could beat humans at rock, paper, scissors? Since then, researchers at the University of Tokyo's Ishikawa Oku Lab have continued to work on it. The ...

When robotic hands — traditionally designed to perform perfectly precalculated steps — are programmed by the Yale GRAB Lab to continuously alter their grip, fidgeting promotes adaptability to the ...

It’s easy to forget how amazing the dexterity and anatomy of our own hands are–until you learn how difficult they are to replicate for machines. MIT has made big strides in robotic hands this year, ...

What good is a 1-millisecond advantage? For humans, not much, but for a Japanese robot, it's means victory every time...at least when it comes to the game of rock-paper-scissors. Researchers at the ...
