Instead of using vacuum why not collect with with finger like extensions to use less power and better accuracy? Also does anyone know a good programmable outdo

Instead of using vacuum why not collect with with finger like extensions to use less power and better accuracy?
Also does anyone know a good programmable outdoor robot dog made in US?
- bagels 2y agoThat is probably a lot slower, more difficult to implement and would require even more power for the control system.

- NBJack 2y agoArticulation is much more complex. You go from "vacuum thing I found that looks like trash" to "create a 3D model of this scene, route the robotic appendage thru it, find the ideal grasping point at center of mass, make first attempt, compensate for shift due to wind/previous attempt..." etc. Then there is the mechanics. Aside from mobility, consider a grasping arm's many servos and wiring harness vs. electric motor goes brr for the vacuum.
- michaelhoney 2y agoAgree that it’d make mare sense (and be quieter and more flexible) to have little hands. More engineering of course, but it feels very solvable.
