Robotic hand grips toys, bottles like humans with 99.69% accuracy, avoids mishandling
The innovation offers a promising solution for people with hand loss.
Engineers have developed a prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human. The hand adjusts its grasp to avoid damaging or mishandling whatever it holds.
Developed by Johns Hopkins University researchers, the bionic hand identified and manipulated 15 everyday objects, including delicate stuffed toys, dish sponges, and cardboard boxes, as well as pineapples, metal water bottles, and other sturdier items.
