When AI powered prosthetic arms that move autonomously become widespread, understanding how people feel about them and accept them will be crucial.

A robotic arm that moves too quickly can feel creepy. One that moves too slowly feels awkward and unhelpful. In a VR study, researchers found that AI-powered prosthetic arms were best accepted when ...

Developing a durable and affordable hand is one of the biggest challenges in robotics.

Abstract: The somatosensory function is essential for hand motor control, but it is lost following hand amputation. This study explores the potential of osseoperception — auditory and vibrotactile ...

We introduce TASTE-Rob: 1) a dataset with 100,856 task-oriented hand-object interaction videos, 2) a three-stage pose-refinement video generation pipeline. With the above contributions, TASTE-Rob is ...

GEORGETOWN, Texas (KXAN) — Kai Pollnitz sat in, what he later learned, was a fake doctor’s office in North Carolina this December when a man in scrubs and a mask walked in with a shiny blue box.

Abstract: The aspiration to replicate the capabilities of the human hand has driven innovations in the design of soft robotic hands. Despite these advancements, many existing designs of soft hands ...

This robotic hand crawls away, grabs objects and reattaches 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 ...
