Robots might soon be moving more like humans and animals, thanks to a major breakthrough by engineers at. A team of ...

Researchers have made a breakthrough that could pave the way for affordable, highly sensitive robotic touch. A team from Northwestern University and Israel’s Tel Aviv University discovered that ...

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.

A new soft actuator moves and stiffens like biological muscle. The muscles, or actuators, are constructed from low-cost, ...

Researchers create most human-like robot skin yet A hydrogel-based hand was poked, prodded, burned, and slashed to help robots 'feel.' Mack DeGeurin Jun 12, 2025 5:06 PM EDT ...

The hurdle to that expansion is not the software, he adds, but robots themselves. “Robots are not made of soft material like humans. They’re made of metal, so it really hurts if they hit you.

Scientists have developed a low-cost, durable, highly-sensitive robotic ‘skin’ that can be added to robotic hands like a glove, enabling robots to detect information about their ...

With their bright blue bases, yellow gears, and exposed circuit tops, the 3D-printed robots look like a child’s toys. Yet as a roughly two-dozen-member collective, they can flow around obstacles ...

Researchers Use Videos to Teach Robot Surgeons Human-Like Moves. Engineers and doctors at Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University have achieved significant advances in training robotic ...
