Robotic Hand
European researchers have developed a robotic hand that can mimic the human hand in functions like it can grasp an egg, snap its finger, etc. This hand is controlled by a neural-network-based program modeled on the cerebelloum. This hand has a outer skin layer made from the carbon that is thin and flexible and that can change its resistance depending on pressure. This robotic hand can detect the shapes of an object, the amount of force and direction of force required to change the position of the object. The joints of the hand are controlled by 38 opposing motors. To develop such a hand, researchers had to take hundreds of MRI images of human hand.
