In tests, the hand was able to detach from its arm, crawl like a small multi-legged robot, and retrieve up to three objects ...

With up to six fingers that can bend in multiple directions, the innovative tool could one day be used to carry out tasks in tight spaces ...

The symmetrical design and flexible fingers mean that the robot can transport objects on either side of its body. For humans, that would look like holding a ball in your palm while simultaneously ...

This New Skittering Robotic Hand Could Reach Things You Can't ...

The robot can bend, grasp and carry in ways humans can’t, which could help it navigate spaces too confined for human arms.

Engineers have showcased a robotic hand that can detach from its arm and move ...

EPFL engineers unveil a detachable robotic hand that crawls into tight spaces, grips objects both ways, and returns ...

The result is something akin to Thing from “The Addams Family” — with all the scamper and skill, but none of the skin or ...

Introduction to EPFL's robotic arm and detachable hand. How the robotic hand was developed. How the hand can grasp and carry objects. Researchers at EPFL's (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) ...

MIT complains that designing a robot hand is time-consuming and takes a lot of iterations. They want to improve that using a unique approach by giving a modular hand tactile sensors. They claim this ...

A modular robotic hand that crawls, grasps from multiple angles, and operates independently—pointing to new possibilities for electronics-driven automation and compact robotic systems.

A robotic hand developed at EPFL surpasses the limits of human dexterity with a dual-thumbed, reversible-palm design that can ...
