One standout was Moose Jaw student Ranie Garnes, who used Fusion 360 to design a 3D model of a robotic hand — a project that ...

Students at Saskatchewan Polytechnic gathered at Innovation Place on Friday to showcase their applied research projects. “A number of these students get a scholarship to work on applied research ...

How does a robotic arm or a prosthetic hand learn a complex task like grasping and rotating a ball? Researchers address the classic 'nature versus nurture' question. The research demonstrates that the ...

A robotic hand can pick up 24 different objects with human-like movements that emerge spontaneously, thanks to compliant materials and structures rather than programming. When you reach out your hand ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

A 16-year-old student from Bristol has built an anthropomorphic robotic hand entirely from Lego parts, and it performs almost as well as professional research models. Called the Educational SoftHand-A ...

Anyone committed to building a particular skill is capable of experiencing the "ceiling effect," in which performance plateaus after years of training. For hobbyists, this is frustrating; for ...

Cassidy Parrish had a problem to solve close to home. When her father’s hand pain grew worse, making everyday tasks like holding dishes nearly impossible, she set out to find a solution. For her, the ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a robotic hand eerily reminiscent of The Terminator, using lab-grown human muscle tissue to power its movements. The breakthrough, hailed as a major step towards ...

In new 'transformational' research, a team of scientists has taken steps to creating more natural prosthetic limbs by decoding the signals between hand movements and the brain. The scientists explain ...
