Zhengyang (Kris) Weng (MSR '25) brought a passion for the piano to MSR, where his independent project replicating a human hand could ultimately impact robots in hospital operating rooms. The gentle ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have come up with a better prosthetic hand that uses a hybrid design to carefully grip various objects with just the right amount of pressure. The robotic ...

The research team led by Dr. Minki Sin, Senior Researcher at KIMM, has developed an ultra-light robotic prosthetic hand that allows amputees to stably and efficiently grasp various objects with simple ...

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, ...

The very capable robotic picker-upper can grasp things on both sides and roam around freely. By Ari Daniel As a mother of three, Aude Billard, a roboticist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology ...
