The dexterity gap: from human hand to robot hand
Observe your own hand. As you read this, it’s holding your phone or clicking your mouse with seemingly effortless grace. With over 20 degrees of freedom, human hands possess extraordinary dexterity, which can grip a heavy hammer, rotate a screwdriver, or instantly adjust when something slips.
With a similar structure to human hands, dexterous robot hands offer great potential:
Universal adaptability: Handling various objects from delicate needles to basketballs, adapting to each unique challenge in real time.
Fine manipulation: Executing complex tasks like key rotation, scissor use, and surgical procedures that are impossible with simple grippers.
