High-Speed Robot HandThis faster-than-human robotic hand can do everything from dribbling, spinning a pen between its "fingers," and playing "cell phone catch" with itself.Mar 17, 2010The Ishikawa Komuro Lab in Japan is developing some robotic āhandā technology that far outpaces its human counterparts. Using high-speed actuators with harmonic drive gears, the hand can open and close in 1/10 of a second. In addition, tactile sensors inside the fingers allow the robotic hand to grasp and handle almost any object with a grace normally reserved for humans. To make everything come together, a high-speed camera taking in the action at 1000fps enables tracking of precise movements. The video shows the robotic hand doing everything from dribbling, spinning a pen between its āfingers,ā and playing ācell phone catchā with itself. Personally, Iām entranced by how easily it picks up single grains of rice. Forget the chopsticks ā Iāll bring one of these along the next time Iām out for sushi.Latest in HomeSponsoredHow to Source and Define Business-Wide AssumptionsNovember 8, 2023Osprey Flights Suspended after Fatal Crash of U.S. Air Force AircraftNovember 30, 2023Ford: UAW Strike Ate Up $1.7B in ProfitsNovember 30, 2023Nation's First EV-Charging Roads Installed in DetroitNovember 29, 2023Related StoriesHomeNotice: No Mnet Newsletters Next WeekHomeNo Mnet Newsletters Until Jan. 3HomePreview Days Videos Help Attendees Pre-Plan IMTS 2022 AgendaHomeNotice: No Newsletters Next Week
