HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. — Inside a lab at Northern Kentucky University, students and professors from multiple disciplines are working on a project to make life easier — and faster, and less intrusive — ...

Researchers have developed a robotic “hand,” resembling a claw, to pick blackberries. Their aim is to eventually automate blackberry harvest to help growers who face rising labor costs and a shrinking ...

Developing a durable and affordable hand is one of the biggest challenges in robotics.

Hands can grab things, build things, communicate, and we control them intuitively with nothing more than a thought. To those who miss a hand, a prosthesis can be a life-changing tool for carrying out ...

Chopping vegetables, opening jars, or plating food might seem routine. But for people with mobility impairments, these simple actions can be complex and exhausting. Now, engineers at Virginia Tech ...

Korean researchers have created a very realistic and capable robot hand that looks very promising. It is strong (34N of grip strength) and reasonably lightweight (1.1 kg), too. There are several ...

Researchers from the UK and elsewhere have successfully tested a neurosurgery robot on dummies, marking a key level of refinement in the system's development. Kicking off European Robotics Week, the ...
