The 'Smart Hand Robot', a creation of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, is capable of mimicking 33 distinct types of human hand grasping actions. Now, it has undergone an upgrade, transforming into an 'Advanced Hand' that boasts autonomous crawling and double-sided grasping features. The research team has engineered two detachable robotic hands, each with a symmetrical design. One hand is equipped with five fingers, while the other has six. These hands, each with a palm diameter of 16 centimeters, facilitate double-sided grasping. Moreover, they can detach from the robotic arm base and crawl autonomously. This robot has the capacity to continuously grasp up to three different objects, handle a variety of everyday items with reliability, and can bear a maximum load of 2 kilograms. Such a robotic hand exemplifies the trajectory of technological advancement, offering fresh perspectives for tasks conducted in intricate environments. Looking ahead, there is potential to delve into its autonomous decision-making and collaborative operational capabilities within dynamic settings.
