With its opposable thumb, multiple joints and gripping skin, human hands are often considered to be the pinnacle of dexterity ...

Engineers have built a detachable robotic hand that can crawl into hard-to-reach spaces to retrieve objects. The spider-like device can be fitted with multiple fingers and is reversible, meaning it ...

In 1980, the first industrial robot arm could move six axes with brute strength, but it couldn’t pick up a strawberry without crushing it. Four decades later, robotic arms are faster, safer, and ...
