Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) student Robert Schloen talks about his independent project and what lessons he learned from the experience. Robert Schloen has a background in biomedical ...

Zhengyang (Kris) Weng (MSR '25) brought a passion for the piano to MSR, where his independent project replicating a human hand could ultimately impact robots in hospital operating rooms. The gentle ...

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

Robotic hacker [Andrea Trufini] apparently likes choices. Not only does his robotic arm have six degrees of freedom, but it has a variety of ways he can control it. The arm’s software can accept ...

Users will be able to operate a robot by using only a mobile phone, thanks to a new Java application developed by Motorola. The US firm has teamed up with software programming company Flashline to ...

A highly dexterous, human-like robotic hand with fingertip touch sensors can delicately hold eggs, use tweezers to pick up computer chips and crush drink cans. The hand could eventually be used as a ...

Robotic hands could only do what vast teams of engineers programmed them to do. Now they can learn more complex tasks on their own. A robotic hand? Four autonomous fingers and a thumb that can do ...

Back when DARPA first announced its Autonomous Robotic Manipulation (ARM) program in 2010, the average cost of a military-grade robot hand was around US$50,000. That's expensive even by the US ...

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 ...
