Scientists created a robotic hand, built with low cost and energy efficient technology, that was able to successfully grasp 11 of 14 objects it was tested on with accurate force and pressure.
The 3D-printed hand was initially trained using plastic balls
Researchers said the human hand was extremely complex and recreating its capabilities was a massive challenge. "We can't say exactly what information the robot is getting, but it can theoretically estimate where the object has been grasped and with how much force." This hand was only capable of passive, wrist-based movement and the individual fingers were not fully motorised
