Robot arms are getting smarter and smarter all the time, and now a team from Georgia Tech has taught them how to make their own tools. These resourceful robots are first taught to match form and ...

They used this method to make a bio-inspired robotic hand that combines soft and rigid plastics to make mechanical bones, ligaments and tendons, as well as a pump based on a mammalian heart.

This Robot Hand Taught Itself How to Grab Stuff Like a Human The system, developed by OpenAI, ends up “inventing” characteristic grasps that we humans already commonly use to handle objects ...

A more brainlike artificial neural network is helping make robot hands smarter than ever. Check this one out in action.

Google’s approach continuously analyzes the object and the robot hand’s relation to it, making it more adaptable, like a human. These robots are really just arms with brains, hooked up to a ...

The hand was only capable of passive, wrist-based movement. The team carried out more than 1200 tests with the robot hand, observing its ability to grasp small objects without dropping them.

“What we’re really looking at in this paper is how do we make robot hands cheap enough, and reliable enough, that we can do more research with it and just make it more accessible,” Shaw ...

If you want an easy project to complete in a day or so, or something to introduce kids to the world of robots and electronics, make this light-following robot your weekend project.

Making Robots That Can Work With Their Hands For robots to be most useful when working alongside humans, they’ll have to literally lend us a hand when our own two are not enough ...

Each time the robot reaches a certain level of mastery in the existing environment, the simulator tweaks its own parameters to make the training conditions even harder.

Explore how researchers are using quantum computing to enhance the movement of robots, making them more efficient and smooth.
