This is not and should not be touted as the "holy grail of robotics".
- sigmoid10 4y agoHuman level hand dexterity certainly is a holy grail.
- robg 4y agoDexterity without sight or sensation is pretty useless. Try finding a quarter in pocket full of change with gloves on.
- moralestapia 4y agoThen add sight and sensation ... who said you couldn't do that?
- dmix 4y agoThe innovation of Sparrow is the computer vision combined with the hand. Not just the hand. That wasn’t explained well in the article.
- DoingIsLearning 4y agoVisual servoing and 'eye-in-hand' are not really groundbreaking in robotics, is there some novel/inventive aspect that Sparrow brings? Or is it just taking existing tech and applying it in a real warehouse.
- luc_ 4y agoFrom a technical perspective, sure. How Amazon is using this? Nah.
- taeric 4y agoWould be great if you expanded on what should be touted as such, then? My take is that you should read "holy grail" as a directional claim. That is, not something that can ever be obtained, and as we get closer to the current holder of that vision, expect/demand that it will change.
