In laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves ...

A new AI technique enables a robot to develop complex plans for manipulating an object using its entire hand, not just fingertips. This model can generate effective plans in about a minute using a ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a novel AI technique that simplifies the process of contact-rich manipulation planning for robots. The method involves using an AI technique called "smoothing" to ...

Groundbreaking low-cost ‘loco-manipulators’ transform a humble robot dog into a dexterous bot capable of walking and handling objects simultaneously. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

When robotic hands — traditionally designed to perform perfectly precalculated steps — are programmed by the Yale GRAB Lab to continuously alter their grip, fidgeting promotes adaptability to the ...

Researchers have developed a technique to move objects around with a jet of wind. The new approach makes it possible to manipulate objects at a distance and could be integrated into robots to give ...

&nbsp;<br>Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a robot that can learn how to manipulate objects new to it by pushing them around and discovering how they move.

Researchers headed by a team at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University have developed a robot-assisted surgical technique that uses acoustic vortex tweezers to capture and move small ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a method that makes objects on a magnetic field invisible within a particle stream. Until now, this so-called cloaking had only been studied ...

Imagine you want to carry a large, heavy box up a flight of stairs. You might spread your fingers out and lift that box with both hands, then hold it on top of your forearms and balance it against ...
