Scientists at the University of Tokyo have created a fleshy and “slightly sweaty” robotic finger, covered in a pink layer of living skin, grown from human skin cells. The rather phallic looking result ...

Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a fully integrated, sensorized robot finger. Until now, touch sensors have been difficult to integrate into robot fingers. Among the challenges were ...

A Robot Finger Might Someday Take Your Pulse, Check for Tumors By Dennis Thompson HealthDay Reporter THURSDAY, Oct. 10, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- A newly developed soft robotic finger with a ...

Newly created soft-rigid robotic fingers incorporate powerful sensors along their entire length, enabling them to produce a robotic hand that could accurately identify objects after only one grasp.

Over the years, robots have gotten quite good at identifying objects -- as long as they're out in the open. Discerning buried items in granular material like sand is a taller order. To do that, a ...

The line between humans and machines is blurring. Researchers from the University of Tokyo Institute of Industrial Science have now created a biohybrid robot — a robotic device that incorporates ...
