We believe that a dexterous hand made of such fingers can act as a 'Robodoctor' in a future hospital, like a physician.
Combined with machine learning, automatic robotic examination and diagnosis can be achieved, particularly beneficial for these undeveloped areas where there is a serious shortage in health workers.
Like our human fingers, the BSF can perceive its own shape and fingertip force in real time (a response time of 50ms for both actuation and bending sensing), with a high sensing resolution of 0.02 for the bending angle and 0.4 mN for the force.
The bending and force sensing of the proposed BSF is self-decoupled and highly repeatable. Crucially, both the sensing and actuation are seamlessly integrated.
