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

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 ...

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

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, have developed ...

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 ...

The new model from Google DeepMind is a huge step toward robots that can generalize. Google DeepMind has released a new model, Gemini Robotics, that combines its best large language model with ...

It already understands "lawn," "mow", "don't destroy toys in path" etc, just needs a finetune on how to correctly operate a lawnmower. Gemini Robotics On-Device is not generally available but ...
