Tesollo has commercialized a compact five-finger robotic hand designed to enable robots to perform more dexterous manipulation tasks in humanoid and industrial robotics systems. The new DG-5F-S hand ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Journalist, analyst, author, podcaster. We’ve digitized sight, and we’ve digitized sound. But touch, one of the most important ...

A robotic hand developed at EPFL can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you ...

A new robot hand provides extremely fast and flexible finger movements, while also being tough enough to survive intense damage. That durability helps the hand, which is already being used in Google ...
