How Robot Hands Are Evolving to Do What Ours Can
- stcredzero 8y agoI don't think that human-like hands are going to be anything but an accessory for human-like androids. Anything which can be done by a human hand can also be done by a mechanically simpler device, with some specialized tools for specific tasks, like threading screws. For any activity, devoid of aesthetics, human-like hands are always going to be more expensive and less reliable than the simpler manipulators.
