Keio Robotic Hand : DigInfo

DigInfo - http://movie.diginfo.tv - The basis for what could be the next generation of tactile robotic hands has been developed by the Biorobotics Laboratory at Keio University. Consisting of a robotic hand, and a tactile sensor and display system, in the future we may be able to feel what the robotic hand is sensing. In the previous prototype, the actuators which control the motion within the joints were on the palm of the hand, increasing the weight and limiting movement, but using tiny ultrasonic motors as the controls system, this human sized hand weighs 350 grams and has a reflex system twice as fast as that of a person.

"..and has a reflex system twice as fast as that of a person."

Amazing, but at the same time a bit scary.

there are no muscles in the hand, so couldnt a robotic hand be controlled from the persons hand controlling muscles? theres technology in the h.a.l. so couldnt they just make an entire limb using that?

wow! this even beter by the won from shadow projects!
