A new video from South Korea’s Hanyang University has taken a lighthearted spin on robotics research. It shows a robotic hand performing the moonwalk to Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal. The ...

Data is transmitted over UART (serial USB communication). Example: detected finger angle → sent as a serial command → interpreted by Arduino. RobotTracking-main/ │── setup.sh # Installation script │── ...

Growing up, we learn to push just hard enough to move a box and to avoid touching a hot pan with our bare hands. Now, a robot hand has been developed that also has these instincts. The MOTIF Hand, ...

A humanoid robot’s most significant advantage is the ability to perform a wide variety of tasks in highly constrained environments, according to a recent Agility Robotics blog post. The built world ...

MediaPipe is used to detect hand landmarks in real-time. Custom logic maps different gestures (open hand, closed fist, etc.) to LED numbers. Connect LEDs to Arduino digital pins (D9–D13 in this case).

The MOTIF Hand, developed by a student team in collaboration with Daniel Seita, a USC Viterbi assistant professor of computer science, is built on the idea of being multimodal — that is, having ...

Cassidy Parrish had a problem to solve close to home. When her father’s hand pain grew worse, making everyday tasks like holding dishes nearly impossible, she set out to find a solution. For her, the ...

In this video, I break down the design and construction of my 3D-printed biomimetic control glove, used to operate a bionic hand. From sensor placement to mechanical movement tracking, this is an ...

While child-sized humanoid robots like the Unitree R1 have come down in price, not everybody has a spare $6,000 to throw around to play with robots, and smaller models like the Tonybot are more ...

Fresh, frozen and processed berries are a multi-billion-dollar business in America. In Arkansas alone, fresh-market blackberries contribute $24.3 million each year to the state’s economy. But these ...

Robotic systems have the potential to greatly enhance daily living for the more than one billion individuals worldwide who experience some form of disability. Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, ...
