Simple Color Indicator Makes Prosthetic Devices Easier to Master

Robotics, Tech /

Operating a robotic arm, prosthetic hand, or rehabilitation device is more challenging than it may seem. Picking up an egg requires precise force—too little and it slips, too much and it cracks. For prosthetic users or stroke patients, this precision is difficult due to limited or absent visual and tactile feedback. Without sufficient sensory information,

A space humanoid uses four arms to assist astronauts

Applied Science, Robotics /

Orbit Robotics developed Helios based on a simple idea: robots built for space shouldn’t be modeled after systems designed for gravity. The outcome is a striking four-armed machine that may look futuristic, but reflects a highly practical vision for space operations. The company says Helios divides its four arms into two functional pairs. One pair

China has opened a school where humanoid robots learn real-world tasks

Applied Science, Robotics /

For years, artificial intelligence existed mostly on screens. Chatbots generated text, algorithms created images, and ever more advanced systems dominated the tech conversation. But away from traditional computers, a quieter race has emerged. The new challenge is no longer just teaching machines to think — it’s training humanoid robots to move, handle objects, and operate
