It’s all in the wrist: energy-efficient robot hand learns how not to drop the ball

Researchers have designed a low-cost, energy-efficient robotic hand that can grasp a range of objects – and not drop them – using just the movement of its wrist and the feeling in its ‘skin’.

Scientists create soft and scalable robotic hand based on multiple materials

Researchers at University of Coimbra in Portugal recently developed a new soft robotic hand that could be more affordable and easier to fabricate.

Technology Gives Robots Human-Like Sense of Grip

A sensor provides high-resolution tactile information so robots could better manipulate and grasp objects.

Why Facebook (Or Meta) Is Making Tactile Sensors for Robots

Durable and affordable fingers and skin could help virtual agents understand their world

Robotic Hand Uses Sense of Touch to Rotate Objects

Researchers outfitted the appendage with inexpensive binary sensors, an approach that doesn't require vision to 'feel' whatever it's holding.
