Now here’s an intelligent robot that won’t crush your hand as it detects before grabbing stuff.
A robotic hand designed by Intel researchers is able to sense the general shape of objects before interacting with them.
The tips of its fingers send out a weak electrical impulse that objects interfere with, giving the hand a rough idea of what it’s about to grasp. Using electrolocation, as it’s known, is common in fish, particularly sharks, which detect electric fields better than any other animal.
