Researchers have created the most lifelike robotic hand yet, designed to mimic the exact movements of our own hands.
Researchers Zhe Xu and Emanuel Todorov from the University of Washington in Seattle are behind the new design, which includes joints and pulleys based on biological features of the hand.
They wrote in their study that they have designed 'a biomimetic robotic hand that closely mimics its human counterpart with artificial joint capsules, crocheted ligaments and tendons, laser-cut extensor hood, and elastic pulley mechanisms.'
Previous anthropomorphic robotic hands tended to use hinges to simplify nature's design, which led to unnatural movements without human-level dexterity
'The inherent mismatch between mechanisms of these robotic hands and biomechanics of human hands essentially prevents us from using natural hand motion to directly control them,' they wrote.
