JAPANESE RESEARCHERS UNVEIL WORLD’S LARGEST BIOHYBRID ROBOT HAND

Fri 07 March 2025: A group of Japanese scientists announced they’ve created “the largest of its kind” robotic hand, powered by cultivated human muscle tissue. According to Tokyo-based Kyodo News on Sunday, the researchers aim for this five-fingered biohybrid hand to be used in prosthetic applications. The hand, which measures 18 centimeters (7.08 inches) in […]

Feeling is believing: Bionic hand 'knows' what it's touching, grasps like a human - Science Tech Updates

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its grasp to avoid damaging or mishandling whatever it holds. The system’s hybrid design is a first for robotic hands, which have typically been too rigid or […] The post Feeling is believing: Bionic hand ‘knows’ what it’s touching, grasps like a human …

Prosthetic robot hand 'knows' what it's touching

Engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human. The hand carefully conforms and adjusts its grasp to avoid damaging or mishandling whatever it holds. The system’s hybrid design is a first for robotic hands, which have typically been too rigid or too soft to replicate a human’s touch when handling objects of varying textures and materials. The innovation offer…
