A high-tech wristband enables wearers to control a robotic hand with such dexterity that it can play the piano. By moving their own hands and fingers, users can direct a robot to play keyboards or ...

MIT has taken a big step toward improving how we control robots, offering a solution that could solve accuracy and coordination issues with humanoid models.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have built an ultrasound wristband that translates natural hand and finger movements into commands for a robotic hand, letting wearers direct a ...

Researchers at MIT CSAIL have created a new soft robotic system, RoboGrocery that uses vision technology and soft tactile sensors to determine how to pack an item without damage. Researchers from ...

The next time you’re scrolling your phone, take a moment to appreciate the feat: The seemingly mundane act is possible thanks to the coordination of 34 muscles, 27 joints, and over 100 tendons and ...

While the human hand, with four fingers and opposable thumb, is pretty darn awesome, it still falls woefully short when it comes to some tasks -- such as opening a soda bottle or peeling a banana. MIT ...

First it was an extra set of shoulder-mounted robot arms, but now MIT feels that humanity could also benefit from a couple of extra robotic fingers on each hand. Faye Wu and other researchers at the ...

MIT researchers have developed an ultrasonic wristband that accurately tracks and predicts complex hand movements, offering a ...
