If you want an easy project to complete in a day or so, or something to introduce kids to the world of robots and electronics, make this light-following robot your weekend project.

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 ...

A more brainlike artificial neural network is helping make robot hands smarter than ever. Check this one out in action.

“What we’re really looking at in this paper is how do we make robot hands cheap enough, and reliable enough, that we can do more research with it and just make it more accessible,” Shaw ...

They used this method to make a bio-inspired robotic hand that combines soft and rigid plastics to make mechanical bones, ligaments and tendons, as well as a pump based on a mammalian heart.

A robotic hand solving Rubik’s cube has all the makings of hype headlines, but underlying OpenAI’s latest achievement is some subtler, more interesting science.

Google’s approach continuously analyzes the object and the robot hand’s relation to it, making it more adaptable, like a human. These robots are really just arms with brains, hooked up to a ...

Using a model-free reinforcement AI algorithm, researchers created a simulated, anthropomorphic hand that could manipulate more than 2,000 objects.

The computer scientist Christoph Salge is trying to circumvent the need for rules that guide robots’ behavior. His strategy: Give them a goal of making us more powerful.

A future generation of robots will not be programmed to complete specific tasks. Instead, they will use A.I. to teach themselves.
