A major challenge of robotic arms is the weight of the actuators, especially closer to the end of the arm. The long lever arm means more torque is required from the other actuators, and everything ...

Experts from the University of Cambridge said the hand utilises ‘passive’ movement. Researchers have designed a low-cost, energy-efficient robotic hand that can grasp a range of objects – and not drop ...
