[Miller] wanted to practice a bit with some wireless modules and wound up creating a robotic hand he could teleoperate with the help of a haptic glove. It lookes highly reproducible, as you can see ...

Recent advances in scientific research may allow robotic prosthetics and virtual reality simulations to be even more effective than before. Researchers in Hong Kong have developed a new, glove-like ...

It’s possible to make silicon and semiconductors somewhat flexible by using a super-thin substrate, but this brings performance issues and has other limitations. A team at the University of Houston ...

To reliably complete household chores, assemble products and tackle other manual tasks, robots should be able to adapt their ...

Being able to beam yourself into a robotic body has all kinds of applications, from the practical to the fanciful. Existing interfaces that could make this possible tend to be bulky, but a wireless ...

HaptX has this week announced a new version of its virtual reality gloves announcing the launch of the new HaptX Gloves DK2. Designed to provide virtual reality uses with true contact haptics for ...

Somewhere in North London, in an anonymous office block on a nondescript road in the U.K.’s capital city, a robot hand is tapping out a message on a keyboard. “Hello, World” it writes, a geeky ...

In September 2005, MD+DI published a story about researchers at Michigan State University who had built a robot designed for remote breast exams. The robot combined ultrasound technology and video ...

The prosthetic can hold everything from drinks to eggs with the new pressure sensor framework.
