▲ 313 ▼ This robotic hand has such sensitive touch that it can grasp objects as fragile as a potato chip or a raspberry without crushing them (www.futurity.org) submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by Beep@lemmus.org to c/technology@lemmy.world 64 comments fedilink hide all child comments Research. The technology, called Fragile Object Grasping with Tactile Sensing (FORTE), combines advanced tactile sensing with soft robotics. The breakthrough could improve robot performance when a light touch is needed, such as in health care and manufacturing.
