Then, a bionic robot hand makes its debut, complete with a customised interface bridging the chemical and robotic worlds. The highlight? Watching that robotic hand respond to chemical reactions!

[Yale] is working to bring tendon-driven robotic hands to the masses with an interesting technique of combining 3D printing and resin/urethane casting. Known as Hybrid Deposition Manufacturing ...

in which the robot exoskeleton hand passively moved those four fingers for 30 minutes to perform the chord trill—faster than the players could do so themselves. This was followed by a post-test ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Due to their complex and delicate features, human hands have always been a challenge to replicate in the robotics field. Two researchers, Zhe Zu and Emanuel Todorov ...

A robotic hand inspired by human skin can sense how hard an object is with a single digit’s touch and work out how much force is needed to grip it before the rest of the hand closes its grasp.

Prosthetic hands have long struggled to replicate the ... electromyogram control and a wearable soft robotic armband. This study aimed to investigate whether users could control grip forces ...
