A new study shows how sophisticated social awareness in children can be in the transference of behavior.
Engineers have created a new robot that models the mechanics of the strong punch of the mantis shrimp.
A newly developed bionic arm combines motor control with touch and hand movement sensations, allowing those with upper-arm amputations to behave and react as though they haven't lost their limb.
The gaze of a humanoid robot influences the way people react to social decision-making tasks.
Using magnetic beads implanted into muscle tissue within the amputated residuum of animals, researchers have created a more precise way to control prosthetic limbs.
MIT researchers have developed a new, lightweight robotic hand that provides tactile feedback and is dexterous enough to perform tasks like zipping a suitcase and pouring juice.

Applying AI technology, researchers teach a robot to make appropriate reactive human facial expressions. Scientists say this could help build trust between humans and the humanoid robots they interact with.
Adding a BCI that evokes tactile sensations makes it easier for users to manipulate and use robotic arm prosthetics.
A newly developed robotic thumb imprints how the hand is represented in the brain. Using the robotic thumb, researchers reported improvements in conducting dexterity tasks, such as building with blocks. Additionally, those who trained to use the additional thumb began to feel as though the digit was a part of their body.
People who were touched by conversational humanoid robots report positive emotional states and were more likely to comply with requests made by the robot.
