Students presented projects at the 70th Greater New Orleans Science and Engineering Fair last week. Here, we highlight a few.

Zhengyang (Kris) Weng (MSR '25) brought a passion for the piano to MSR, where his independent project replicating a human hand could ultimately impact robots in hospital operating rooms. The gentle ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have come up with a better prosthetic hand that uses a hybrid design to carefully grip various objects with just the right amount of pressure. The robotic ...

In a remarkable fusion of biology and technology, researchers from the University of Tokyo and Waseda University have developed a groundbreaking biohybrid robotic hand that utilizes lab-grown human ...

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. When you reach out your hand ...

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — An assistant professor at the University of Arkansas’s College of Engineering started developing a robotic gripper in 2020 and has since received help from other ...

Made with wood, springs and rubber bands, Rich Walker remembers fondly the first robotic hand built by Shadow Robot in the late 1990s. "A lot of it was done with just stuff that we had," says Walker, ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...
