Not an anthropomorphic* gripper! 🪬 @shadowrobot has created a dexterous robot hand that can help researchers learn and experiment more easily. Their client is @GoogleDeepMind , which these advanced hands can test and deploy new algorithms and apply them to robotics. Using internal force control loops at 10 kHz, the Shadow Hand achieves precise torque control. Additionally, it is strong and fast, opening and closing in 500 milliseconds and giving a 10 N pinch with the fingertip. Each finger features dozens of 3-DOF taxels on the middle and proximal phalanges and hundreds on the fingertip. This is huge for researchers - all sensing data is available in real time! ⌚️ This technology is a big step forward for machine learning robots, allowing researchers to focus on developing AI software rather than on constant maintenance and hardware troubleshooting! *anthropomorphic gripper is a robotic hand designed to mimic the human hand's shape and function, with fingers and a palm. ~~~ ♻️ RT to help 1 robot find a new workplace.
