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.

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 robotic hand solving Rubik’s cube has all the makings of hype headlines, but underlying OpenAI’s latest achievement is some subtler, more interesting science.

“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 ...

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.

The robots you see moving heavy parts around in a factory are made of steel and pneumatic components that make them strong and fast, but not very forgiving.

Using a model-free reinforcement AI algorithm, researchers created a simulated, anthropomorphic hand that could manipulate more than 2,000 objects.

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 printed using a technique called slow-curing, which gives plastics more time to set and makes them more durable.
