Scientists create robotic hand able to hold objects – BBC News
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have designed a robotic hand that can grasp and hold objects using only the movement of its wrist.
The 3D printed model was implanted with sensors that enabled it to “sense” what it was touching and more than 1,200 tests were carried out, using objects including a peach, computer mouse and bubble wrap.

Much of western Europe is under the most extreme red heat alerts – meaning there’s a potential risk to life.
France, Spain and Italy have been hardest hit by the heatwave so far.
But why is it so hot? What can you do to stay safe? And is El Nino to blame?
We answer some of your most asked questions about the heatwave sweeping Europe with our climate and health correspondents.
We’re also joined by our teams in Paris, Madrid and the south of France.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

Wow, kind of underwhelming. My hand had this stuff in it 6 years ago and I have since seen far better things from amateurs on YouTube. I guess I'm failing to see the improvement. Is the improvement the data resolution quality? Those finger sensors look like they're just measuring the changing resistance of the silicone as it's compressed.
You know what, nevermind. I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood. Congratulations on your hand.

I think they need to give a lot of life and sensers to the robotic fingers, to make them a lot more lively because those fingers look dull, and then it will make sense

Why exactly is this being reported in the news we had this technology since the '70s but definitely not as good because technology back then, in fact most of our robots used motor feedback caused by the pressure of the object they are grasping determinate shape and how hard they should grip it and this is you send things like the Tesla bot and the Asimo Honda robot and several manufacturing robots, and many other robots put sensors on the fingertips and in palms to enhance this ability, I have an idea to basically make a hybrid between a resistive and a capacitive touch screen, a capacit touch screen measures the change in current when you touch the screen and you can use this to determine where you put your finger on the screen of like a smartphone for example when a resistive one has a rubber or plastic film above the screen that you touch and has sensors on the corners that measure how much that film has been moved or disturbed to then estimate where your finger has been so with my idea you would basically have an electrical current that would flow through some sort of simple matrice or the structure of a flexible material like the skin over a robot that when moved or disturbed can have its resistant values changed and that can be measured and this can be done with like a small patch of skin within possibly connect these all together to make a larger surface area and why not even combine it with thermal sensors to get temperatures well! For robotics that is an idea someone should look into or maybe I might just do it myself someday what generally robots knew how to adjust their grip for object they were touching for the longest times!
