This is the impressive moment a robotic hand grasps objects just like a human. Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) have created a robotic hand that can pick up ...

Cassidy Parrish had a problem to solve close to home. When her father’s hand pain grew worse, making everyday tasks like ...

Programmable matter and robotic systems represent a dynamic frontier in materials science and robotics, where discrete, often modular units are designed to change their physical properties and ...

A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you ...

Cassidy Parrish had a problem to solve close to home. When her father’s hand pain grew worse, making everyday tasks like holding dishes nearly impossible, she set out to find a solution. For her, the ...
