Robotics insights MIT researchers have developed a robotic hand that uses hi-res tough sensing to accurately identify an object up to 85% after grasping it one time. This is part of a larger effort to make robots more like humans so they can operate in more sensitive operations and can do the dull, dirty and dangerous jobs.
