MIT Haptics Technologies - Breakthroughs in Innovation Considered

Perhaps you have seen, the latest innovation in haptics, where a robot takes an egg without breaking it. Sounds a human right is simple, but consider how difficult it would be an easy task for a robot, how robots can not hold more than 250 sensors in their hands as the people who always have the pressure sensors in a robot hand 45, albeit with miniaturization, that also changed a few days.

Haptics into the prosthesis and robotic hands is an interesting concept. When I saw the MIT GloveHaptics video a few years later, saw something of a robot hand on the Discovery Channel about the mention made of the number of nerves in a human hand, I was sure impressed.

Nevertheless, the robot could pick up a paper Dixie cup, egg, Pop Tart, or even a glass of wine, without that break, that was pretty interesting. Since the Japanese race to build robots, I can imagine problems if the robots were set too tight a grip in the wrong place, which is not easyfunny.

The CAVE project (virtual reality environment technology incubator) in Europe certainly has some neat stuff them with gloves, and the film industry is sure to have fun with martial artists that have taken several steps to do these video games, cartoons etc., and animated still similar to someone, which means you could make a movie of John Wayne in the late twenties, when he was already dead for over 2 decades of film.

The applications are endless, for example, working with radioactiveMaterial with telerobotics, or even hire someone in India prior to home care robots for seniors in Fort Lauderdale or Scottsdale AZ. As always, the miniaturization of sensors used to feel, yes, absolutely essential to work for them, as well as a real hand, even for very small robots. Think about this issue.
