Human–robot interaction (HRI) and gesture-based control systems represent a rapidly evolving research field that seeks to bridge the gap between human intuition and robotic precision. This area ...

Hands move constantly during conversation. They signal emotion, stress a point, and form full languages such as American Sign Language. Behind this everyday motion lies a complex challenge. Each human ...

Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have developed new sensor glove technology that could allow robots to use their ...

The complex combination of movements required for this simple scissor gesture is a big step up from the capabilities of previous biohybrid robots. A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a ...

Traditionally, robot arms have been controlled either by joysticks, buttons, or very carefully programmed routines. However, for [Narongporn Laosrisin’s] homebrew build, they decided to go with ...

Ashwathi Menon, co-captain of UMBC's Indian fusion dance team, helps demo some of the technology in the lab. Here, she demonstrates the Katakamukha mudra as a robotic hand mimics her gesture. Parthan ...

Researchers have developed a low-cost sensor glove that could enable robots to perform hand movements with greater dexterity, potentially improving their use in fields such as healthcare, virtual ...

Robots could soon use their hands in more human like ways thanks to a £50 glove, created by researchers at the .
