Dexter - The high-speed robot hand



We like robots on Gadget Master, and this robot hand is particularly impressive for high-speed manipulations.

The video is of a Ishikawa Komuro Lab robot hand, demonstrating "Skilful manipulation based on high-speed robotic systems".

It can throw objects. It can twirl a pencil twixt its three digits. It can tie a knot...

I particularly love the way it follows the movement of the tester's hand. Very impressive. I think it's name should be Dexter...

Thanks to Techeblog for this one.
