The robot hand developed at Japan’s Ishikawa Komuro Lab, is so fast and skillful that it can complete many different tasks without errors and at very high speeds. The hand was first developed in 2007. The principle the robotic hand was built on is called “Skillful manipulation based on high speed sensory motor fusion”. The […]
The device developed at George Mason University, which you can view by visiting the link below, helps patients with certain difficulties to be able to perform repetitive physical movements for therapy.This logic could soon be applied to a much more variety of physical tasks, which may enable to teach healthy people without any movement problems, […]
