Recent advancements in technology have revolutionized the world of assistive and medical tools, and prosthetic limbs are no exception. We've come a long way from the rigid, purely cosmetic prosthetics ...

Step inside the Soft Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich, and you find yourself in a space that is part children's nursery, part ...

A groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They've created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical ...

A New York-based company has unveiled a robotic hand that can rotate a nut on a bolt at super high speed. This is possible because it’s fully backdrivable and torque transparent so it adapts naturally ...

Meta says it’s partnering with sensor firm GelSight and Wonik Robotics, a South Korean robotics company, to commercialize tactile sensors for AI. The new devices aren’t meant for consumers. Rather, ...

Sanctuary AI's Phoenix robot is certainly an impressive beast, with hydraulically actuated hands that are incredibly dextrous. Well, those hands have recently become even more useful, as each one is ...

To accelerate adoption across industry and research, SharpaWave runs on an open-source, developer-friendly software stack. The SharpaPilot app is fully compatible with major simulation platforms ...

Students at the Springdale Public Library were treated to a workshop about biomechanical engineering led by representatives from the University of Arkansas. Click here to see more photos from the ...

Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

Matt Carney was good at building robots — he just didn’t want to. While earning his PhD at MIT, he’d spent years studying mechanical engineering and biomechatronics in service of developing bionic ...
