Feeling is believing: Bionic hand 'knows' what it's touching, grasps like a human

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human.

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 innovation offers a promising solution for people with hand loss and could improve how robotic arms interact with their environment.

Hybrid robot combines soft and rigid structures, just like our skin, tissue, and bones.
