In the face of rising global agricultural labor costs and an aging workforce, a new review published in Engineering explores how agricultural robots are leveraging advanced hand–eye coordination ...

From Boston Dynamics’ Atlas to Google’s SayCan, most hand-wielding robots don’t have the dexterity necessary to “feel” what they’re holding. (If they did, maybe a 7-year-old boy wouldn’t have had his ...

Engineers from Britain implemented a novel approach to improve how robots grip and handle fragile, slippery or asymmetric objects. The breakthrough slip-prevention method shows impressive results and ...

It'll likely be a while before we have humanoid robots taking over our household chores, but what you can count on sooner is seeing more robots in industrial settings, like factories and warehouses.

Even the most sophisticated mechanized graspers sometimes can't grab the right part of an object, and shifting it around is a computationally complex maneuver. Researchers at MIT have developed a new ...

Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to ...

It may seem hard to believe, but here we are well into 2024 and robotic applications are still having trouble grasping objects with the same dexterity as humans. Weren't we supposed to have flying ...

Scientists have been working for years to create robots powered by living muscle tissue. These biohybrid robots combine ...

The Roborock Saros Z70 robot vacuum cleans like a dream, but its mechanical arm, which promises to pick up small items like socks, still needs work.
