Researchers have leveraged new 3D-printing technology to fabricate a robotic hand complete with bones, ligaments, and tendons that are all made using different polymers. The product proves a new ...

Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as enthralled with the wonders of the universe as she is. When she's not daydreaming about flying through space, she's daydreaming ...

A 3D printer that can produce complex systems of bendy and rigid materials, such as a robotic hand or an artificial heart, could be used to make more lifelike robots. Robert Katzschmann at the Swiss ...

Engineers have created an inflatable robot so nimble it can beat the classic Nintendo game Super Mario Bros. What distinguishes Sochol's design is that it uses new fluidic circuits to control machines ...

We’ve been covering the work of bionic prosthesis company YouBionic for some time now. As with any continuously iterating gadget or device, it has been fascinating to watch the concept evolve from a ...

Scientists at Duke University have developed a robotic hand with four fingers that can recognize the material and shape of an object by the vibrations it makes when it touches it. The system, called ...

Researchers have successfully created a robotic hand with bones, ligaments and tendons using 3D printing for the first time. A team from ETH Zurich in Switzerland were able to accomplish the complex ...
