Nicknamed the Hexopod, this six-legged robot looks and acts pretty much like its namesake. Powered by a 10.8V 800mAh Ni-MH battery, the robot comes with individual leg assemblies,

DART robotic hand can type 20 words per minute

Robotics is developing and over the years we have seen all sorts of robotic hands. Today we have another robotic hand that can type and use the keyboard so let’s have a closer look at it.

This is the first robotic hand that can type and it comes from Virginia Tech. This robotic hand is named the Dexterous Anthropomorphic Robotic Typing (DART), and its creators have put a lot of effort into it, allowing it to act like a real hand.

Scientists develop a $135,000 super strong robotic ‘Terminator’ hand

German researchers have built an anthropomorphic robot hand that can endure collisions with hard objects and even strikes from a hammer without breaking into pieces.
In designing the new hand system, researchers at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, part of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), focused on robustness. They may have just built the toughest robot hand yet.

 
The DLR hand has the shape and size of a human hand, with five articulated fingers powered by a web of 38 tendons, each connected to an individual motor on the forearm.
