Most robots do not have palms, allowing them to grasp like humans is an ongoing study.
According to foreign media reports, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a new robot design that reconsiders the often neglected palm.
The new design uses advanced sensors to achieve a highly sensitive touch, helping the “limb” process objects more carefully and accurately.
, (Source: MIT) Inspired by the soft and deformable nature of human hands, GelPalm embeds a flexible gel-based sensor in the palm of the hand.
The sensor uses special colored lighting technology, using red, green and blue LEDs to illuminate objects, and a camera to collect reflections.
This hybrid can generate detailed 3D surface models for precise robot interactions.
