Humanoid robot training is booming around the world. Tech companies are rushing to build the robots for a market projected to reach $38 billion within the next decade.

Robots are picking up human instincts: sensing heat, pressure, and even the weight of objects. A student team at USC Viterbi, working with assistant professor of computer science Daniel Seita, has ...

Think of actuators as the robot’s muscles —the technology that enables humanoids to move. Actuators come in three types: ...

A groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They've created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical ...

Meta says it’s partnering with sensor firm GelSight and Wonik Robotics, a South Korean robotics company, to commercialize tactile sensors for AI. The new devices aren’t meant for consumers. Rather, ...

Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

A four-fingered robotic hand built from Lego Mindstorms pieces can push, pull and grip with almost as much force as a leading ...
