The symmetrical design and flexible fingers mean that the robot can transport objects on either side of its body. For humans, ...

In tests, the hand was able to detach from its arm, crawl like a small multi-legged robot, and retrieve up to three objects ...

The robot can bend, grasp and carry in ways humans can’t, which could help it navigate spaces too confined for human arms.

EPFL's robotic appendage features fingers that bend both ways and is designed to retrieve objects from spaces too hazardous ...

Like something out of the Addams Family, scientists have created a detachable robotic hand that can crawl and grab objects.

The result is something akin to Thing from “The Addams Family” — with all the scamper and skill, but none of the skin or ...

Forget Thing T. Thing from The Addams Family; modern science has officially brought us a detachable robot hand that can ...

A modular robotic hand that crawls, grasps from multiple angles, and operates independently—pointing to new possibilities for electronics-driven automation and compact robotic systems.

Unlike traditional robotic grippers fixed to stationary arms, this dual-mode manipulator functions both as a conventional end effector and as an independent mobile tool. Once undocked, ...

Video. In tests, the hand was able to detach from its arm, crawl like a small multi-legged robot, and retrieve up to three objects in sequence before reattaching.

By learning from human touch, robots can grip objects more safely and adapt to real-world conditions without massive training ...
