SRI showcases its high dexterous robot grasper and hand

The Belt Augmented Compliant Hand, BACH, can pick up objects of various sizes and shapes and move them in different axes without lifting its fingers.

SRI International’s latest robotic application focuses on the integration of active surfaces with a compliant robot grasper to provide a high dexterity and robustness for robot in-hand manipulation. The grasper can pick up a variety of objects with unique sizes and shapes in its power grasps and move them around in different axes without lifting its fingers. The ability to re-orient objects in a power grasp provides unique value to both industrial and domestic applications.
