Indian Dance Mudras May Revolutionise Robotic Hand Control, UMBC Study Shows
Researchers are using classical Indian dance, especially Bharatanatyam mudras, to improve robotic hand dexterity. By analysing 30 structured mudras, scientists found they offer more versatile motion patterns than everyday grasps. These dance-derived synergies could enhance prosthetics, assistive robots, gesture-based rehabilitation and future human...

AI Model Learns to Predict Human Gait for Smarter, Pre-Trained Exoskeleton Control
Scientists at Georgia Tech have created an AI technique that pre-trains exoskeleton controllers using existing human motion datasets, removing the need for lengthy lab-based retraining. The system predicts joint behavior and assistance needs, enabling controllers that work as well as hand-tuned versions. This advance accelerates prototype developme...

UC San Diego Engineers Create Wearable Patch That Controls Robots Even in Chaotic Motion
UC San Diego engineers have developed a soft, AI-enabled wearable patch that can interpret gestures with high accuracy even during vigorous or chaotic movement. The armband uses stretchable sensors, a custom deep-learning model, and on-chip processing to clean motion signals in real time. This breakthrough could enable intuitive robot control for r...

Bird-Inspired Robot With Innovative Wing Design Achieves Self-Takeoff and Controlled Flight
Researchers in China have unveiled RoboFalcon 2.0, a bird-inspired robot with flapping, sweeping, and folding wing motions. Unlike earlier versions, it can achieve self-takeoff and maintain flight at low speeds. Tested in wind tunnels and real-world trials, the design showed improved control and reduced strain on lift. While limitations remain, suc...

Scientists Observe and Control Kelvin Waves in Superfluid Helium for the First Time
In a groundbreaking study, researchers have controlled and observed Kelvin waves in superfluid helium-4 for the first time. Using an electric field to manipulate nanoparticles trapped in vortex lines, they generated and visualised the helical motion of these quantum waves. This discovery sheds light on energy dissipation in superfluid systems and o...
