Researchers have made remarkable advancements in robotics, particularly with the introduction of a human-like robotic finger capable of performing routine medical examinations similar to those ...

The Chinese scientists said the dexterous hand could act as a ‘robodoctor’, like a physician - Hongbo Wang/SWNS A robotic finger that could find cancerous lumps under the skin has been invented by ...

For decades researchers have worked to design robotic hands that mimic the dexterity of human hands in the ways they grasp and manipulate objects. However, these earlier robotic hands have not been ...

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have developed a soft robotic “finger” with a sophisticated sense of touch that can perform routine doctor office examinations, ...

A newly developed soft robotic finger with a sophisticated sense of touch could one day help your doctor perform routine office examinations, a new study suggests. The finger can take a person's pulse ...

While there are a number of optical systems that provide robotic hands with a sense of touch, most of those systems are flat, so they're confined to the fingertips. A new MIT system, however, works ...

Newly created soft-rigid robotic fingers incorporate powerful sensors along their entire length, enabling them to produce a robotic hand that could accurately identify objects after only one grasp.

Forward-looking: Human fingers have one of the most sensitive tactile perceptions we know of. Inspired by this biological wonder, Chinese scientists are now envisioning a future were robotic "fingers" ...

If you were trying to gauge the reaction force of an insect's leg, you couldn't just push it with your finger – the size difference between the two would be too great to do so with enough sensitivity.

Researchers have developed these soft, robotic microfingers which allow humans to consort with insects and interact with the environment, giving them a chance to touch microorganisms with this ...

Researchers have developed a soft robotic 'finger' with a sophisticated sense of touch that can perform routine doctor office examinations, including taking a patient's pulse and checking for abnormal ...
