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.

The arm’s software can accept commands through a programming language, via potentiometers, an infrared remote, or–the really interesting part–through spoken commands.

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.

This is the impressive moment a robotic hand grasps objects just like a human. Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) have created a robotic hand that can pick ...

A highly dexterous, human-like robotic hand with fingertip touch sensors can delicately hold eggs, use tweezers to pick up computer chips and crush drink cans.

While by no means perfect, the simplified robotic hand could prove useful in a variety of environments and industries, such as manufacturing.

This is arguably the most detailed, dexterous, and highly functional artificial hand ever made. And it's a giant leap in the field of prosthetics and limb regeneration.

Thinking outside the box, engineers at Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) developed a "dumb" robotic hand that can easily pick up such objects.
