A soft robotic hand can pick up nearly a dozen objects and adjust the way it is holding them when they start to slip. Many robotic arms are good at picking up objects, but in-the-moment adjustments ...

The research team led by Dr. Minki Sin, Senior Researcher at KIMM, has developed an ultra-light robotic prosthetic hand that allows amputees to stably and efficiently grasp various objects with simple ...

This simple robot, which responds to light and avoids obstacles, can be built without using a microcontroller, programmer or PC. The only ‘special’ component in the circuit is a window discriminator ...

If you’re designing a robot for a specific purpose, you’re probably ordering fresh parts and going with a clean sheet design. If you’re just building for fun though, you can just go with whatever ...
