This Robot Hand Taught Itself How to Grab Stuff Like a Human The system, developed by OpenAI, ends up “inventing” characteristic grasps that we humans already commonly use to handle objects ...

Like humans, the BionicSoftHand instead learns how to grasp and manipulate objects, and perform tasks, all by itself.

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.

Humanoid robots move by walking on two legs and using robotic arms to manipulate objects. Their motion relies on balance, ...

In the other direction, as the human moves, we turn that into commands for the robot to make it move in a similar way.” Welcome to the next frontier for robotics. The Holy Grail of robotics ...

But to effectively work with humans and keep them engaged, robots and other autonomous systems do need to have their own kind of mental model.

When robots are able to hammer in nails, change batteries and make other similar movements — basic for humans but very complex for robots — we’ll be well on our way to human-like dexterity ...
