EPFL's robotic appendage features fingers that bend both ways and is designed to retrieve objects from spaces too hazardous ...

The human hand is often hailed as the “pinnacle of dexterity”, but there’s always room for improvement. In a new study, ...

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 ...

“Replacing traditional electric motors with soft, flexible actuators allows machines to perform tasks more safely and in ways that closely mimic the natural movement and softness of human tissue,” he ...

Unlike traditional robotic grippers fixed to stationary arms, this dual-mode manipulator functions both as a conventional end effector and as an independent mobile tool. Once undocked, ...
