Robotic hand

The New Shadow Hand is a hardware platform for dexterous manipulation research, delivering dynamic and controlled motion in a robust and reliable package, enabling long-running experiments without interruptions due to hardware failure

Shadow Hand withstands the rigours AI research

Researchers have designed a low-cost, energy-efficient robotic hand that can grasp a range of objects – and not drop them – using just the movement of its wrist and the feeling in its ‘skin’

Wrist movements and sensors enable robotic hand to grasp and hold onto objects

MIT researchers developed a soft-rigid robotic finger that incorporates powerful sensors along its entire length, enabling them to produce a robotic hand that could accurately identify objects after only one grasp

MIT robotic hand identifies objects in single grasp
