Force feedback provides humans constant information on how our hands are doing.
Reliable force feedback data at our hand's level of detail would provide a wealth of data to those making the control software and that better software could benefit from real time data. The two problems are strongly interconnected.
- sushisource 9y agoI think his point stands though that you'd do much, much better than these robots even if you had to use a pair of tongs to do everything.
- digi_owl 9y agoWhen we are small we barely do any better than current gen robots. Thing is that each of us accumulate prior data that we can use as a basis for future action, things like how much pressure is enough for grasping a raw egg without breaking it.
- sqeaky 9y agoI totally agree. (I only disagreed with the tiniest detail of his point and meant only to rebut that). I would like to point that with pair of tongs you will still have force feedback. Even though is will be reduced in precision it will still be better than any artificial system I am aware.
- Symmetry 9y agoIt turns out you can make a very accurate, robust, and cheap force sensor by embedding a standard MEMS barometer in rubber. http://www.takktile.com/main:tech http://www.takktile.com/main:tech There are other methods of figuring out how much force a hand is exerting too.
