Researchers at EPFL have created an articulated robotic hand that detaches and crawls independently, enhancing robotic arm reach with advanced grasping capabilities.
This new hand mimics a human-style design with five articulated fingers, using a magnetic connector to autonomously attach and detach from a robot arm.
The hand's unique ability to bend fingers in two directions allows it to lift multiple objects simultaneously, improving efficiency without needing to reposition.
Employing genetic algorithms and simulations allowed researchers to refine the design, making it versatile both while attached to the arm and when acting on its own.
