Hand-Shaking Robot
The researchers from Japan’s Ishikawa Namiki Komuro Labs have perfected “grasping using high-speed visual feedback”. Here is a short demonstration video of this hand-shaking robot.
This system consists of an active vision with the parallel processing vision system called SPE-256, and a multi-fingered hand-arm system like a human hand. This is controlled using a multi-DSP Hierarchical Parallel Processing System and realtime parallel sensory feedback is realized. As a result the hand has succeeded in grasping against a target which moves randomly at high speed. Experimental results are presented.
