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 ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have come up with a better prosthetic hand that uses a hybrid design to carefully grip various objects with just the right amount of pressure.

Takeuchi led a research team that built a full-size, 18 centimeter-long biohybrid human-like hand with all five fingers driven by lab-grown human muscles. Out of all the roadblocks that keep us ...

The new design incorporated E-dermis into a hybrid hand designed to mimic a human hand. The thumb has two joints made of silicone and the fingers have three. Each joint can flex independently. These ...

The system's hybrid design is a first for robotic hands ... been to create a prosthetic hand that we model based on the human hand's physical and sensing capabilities -- a more natural prosthetic ...
