‘Slip-Sensing’ robotic hand can grasp delicate objects without crushing or dropping them!

This robotic hand can grasp delicate objects without crushing or dropping them! This artificial hand is designed with fingertip sensors in the UK. This latest incarnation of a previous prototype not just has improved sense of touch, but also does its job more like a real hand! Congratulations, Neil White, an electronic engineer at Southampton University for developing this amazing hand. Neil and his colleagues who designed this hand hope that this robotic prosthetic limb could one day provide amputees a greater dexterity and deftness of touch. Neil said, We’ve added new arrays of sensors that allow it to sense temperature, grip-force and whether an object is slipping. What is needed is to connect the robot’s motors to an amputee’s arm, shoulder or chest- nerves. And, the amputee can easily forget about his being handicap.
