High-Speed Robot Hand

Here is yet another amazing research done at Ishikawa Komuro Laboratory. They've created a high-speed robot hand that can perform impressive acts of dexterity and skillful manipulation. The original paper was presented at ICRA 2009. The video shows the manipulator dribbling a ping-pong ball, spinning a pen, throwing a ball, tying knots, grasping a grain of rice with tweezers, and tossing / re-grasping a cellphone!



Kudos to Victor Reshetnikov for sharing this awesomeness. He'd like to send greetings to everyone who've been bored enough to read this post and watch the video ;-)
