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 ...

Stuttgart – Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS), the University of Michigan, and Cornell University have demonstrated a breakthrough in microrobotics: swarms of ...

In a study published in Device has reported a new self-powered electrostatic tweezer that offers superior accumulation and tunability of triboelectric charges, enabling unprecedented flexibility and ...

Our ability to skillfully manipulate objects is supported by rapid corrective responses that are initiated when we experience perturbations that interfere with movement goals. For example, the ...

Robotic literature widely addresses deformable object manipulation, but few studies analyzed human manipulation accounting for different levels of deformability and task properties. We asked ...

Sanctuary AI's Phoenix robot is certainly an impressive beast, with hydraulically actuated hands that are incredibly dextrous. Well, those hands have recently become even more useful, as each one is ...

Fig. 1(a) illustrates a typical robotic manipulation system. It features a robotic arm equipped with sensors like cameras and end-effectors such as grippers, enabling it to manipulate a wide range of ...

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 ...
