While a traditional robotic hand would need a motor to actuate each joint, the ADAPT hand has only 12 motors, housed in the wrist, for its 20 joints. The rest of the mechanical control comes from ...

An ultra-light robotic prosthetic hand has been developed that enables both precision fingertip control and shape-adaptive ...

In a series of experiments, the ADAPT hand, which can be controlled remotely, was able to pick up 24 objects with a success ...

As such design ensures nutrients ... muscle strength in a biohybrid robot hand, said Shoji Takeuchi, a professor at the University of Tokyo, specializing in mechanical engineering.

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical ... artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward for a new kind of robotics ...

This design also expands the usefulness of the hand while it’s attached to a robot arm. It can lift multiple objects at once without twisting the arm around to reposition unused fingers.

They've created a biohybrid hand ... tissue and mechanical engineering, capable of gripping and making gestures. This innovation paves the way for a new generation of robotics with diverse ...
