Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as enthralled with the wonders of the universe as she is. When she's not daydreaming about flying through space, she's daydreaming ...

Engineers have created an inflatable robot so nimble it can beat the classic Nintendo game Super Mario Bros. What distinguishes Sochol's design is that it uses new fluidic circuits to control machines ...

Researchers at the Zurich-based ETH public university, along with a US-based startup called Inkbit, have done the impossible. They’ve printed a robot hand complete with bones, ligaments and tendons ...

Have you ever wondered why robots are unable to walk and move their bodies as fluidly as we do? Some robots can run, jump, or dance with greater efficiency than humans, but their body movements also ...

Researchers have created a 3D printed robotic hand that can play simple musical phrases on a piano by moving its wrist. The hand was developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge and uses 3D ...

We’ve been covering the work of bionic prosthesis company YouBionic for some time now. As with any continuously iterating gadget or device, it has been fascinating to watch the concept evolve from a ...

Researchers have leveraged new 3D-printing technology to fabricate a robotic hand complete with bones, ligaments, and tendons that are all made using different polymers. The product proves a new ...

Although we’ve seen plenty of dextrous robo-hands before—including ones that can help robots exit cars in a very creepy way—they’re usually rigid and clanky. (To be fair, they are robot hands.) Some ...

A 3D printer that can produce complex systems of bendy and rigid materials, such as a robotic hand or an artificial heart, could be used to make more lifelike robots. Robert Katzschmann at the Swiss ...

A 3D-printed robotic hand controlled by pressurised water can complete the first level of classic computer game Super Mario Bros in less than 90 seconds. Ryan Sochol and his team at the University of ...
