MAIN AI UPDATES

The most life-like robot hands ever made 🤖🖐️

What’s going on?

What would be your first reaction when you see a robotic hand mimicking your real hand’s (assuming that the reader is a human) movements and functions?

You’d be shocked and spooked, right? Well, a robotics company in Poland has made this sci-fi dream a reality.

Clone Robotics claims they've created the world’s first biomimetic hand that can grasp anything from a tennis ball to a running drill, all with a human-like grip. 🎾🔧

You can see a version of the hand being tested in the video below.

The fingers, thumb, and internal muscles of the robotic hand look and function almost like a real human hand.

Do robots really need super-biomimetic hands?

Probably not for many tasks; there are better designs for specific jobs. But our world is built around human bodies, especially our hands. So, there’s definitely a case for designs like Clone’s.

Beyond Clone

There is no word yet on when Clone plans to develop a lower half to go with their robotic arms and torso. But dozens of other companies are building their own humanoids:

• Boston Dynamics’ Atlas

• Apptronik’s Apollo with NASA

• Agility Robotics’ Digit

• Tesla’s Optimus

• Shadow Robot’s Dexterous Hand
