Scientists 3D print a robotic hand with human-like bones and tendons

Researchers from ETH Zurich and US-based startup Inkbit have 3D printed the world’s first robotic hand with an internal structure composed of human-like bones, ligaments, and tendons.

Using the VCJ technique, the researchers successfully printed a robotic hand that has 19 tendon-like structures that allow it to move the wrist and fingers.

In addition to the hand, they also printed a six-legged robot, a heart, and a robot capable of absorbing vibrations in its Robert Katzschmann oft robots are made of flexib ETH Zurich ls like fluids or elastomers.

They are easier to control and power a centimeter or millimeter-scale soft robot.

VCJ has the potential to give rise to scalable hybrid soft-rigid robots.

With VCJ you can start producing functional parts for robotics, medical implants, and various other industries. the last fi the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology _highLi Zurich t__Nx US i">Rupendra Brahambhatt first lGi">Katzschmann VCJ VCJ VCJ centimeter six VCJ 19 VCJ Katzschmann one MIT one Wojciech Matusik Katzschmann VCJ one Katzschmann VCJ
