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 ...

Prosthetic hands have long struggled to replicate the dexterity and functionality of natural hands, often limiting users to a single grasp function at a time. This limitation has made everyday tasks, ...

A research paper by scientists at the University of Coimbra proposed a soft robotic hand that composed of soft actuator cores and an exoskeleton, featuring a multimaterial design aided by finite ...

Scientists have made considerable progress with soft robots used for assistive wearables, rehabilitative technologies and more. Powered by compressed air, they offer advantages over regular robots ...

A team of researchers has 3D printed a soft robotic hand that is agile enough to play Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. -- and win! A team of researchers from the University of Maryland has 3D printed a ...

Newly created soft-rigid robotic fingers incorporate powerful sensors along their entire length, enabling them to produce a robotic hand that could accurately identify objects after only one grasp.

Researchers at MIT CSAIL have created a new soft robotic system, RoboGrocery that uses vision technology and soft tactile sensors to determine how to pack an item without damage. Researchers from ...

A soft robotic hand can pick up nearly a dozen objects and adjust the way it is holding them when they start to slip. Many robotic arms are good at picking up objects, but in-the-moment adjustments ...
