Robots aren\u2019t exactly new, and neither are robot hands designed to perform a specific task. However, soft robotic hands that can play video game<\/a>s with a controller are! In fact, this one from a research team at the University of Maryland is proving to make for tough competition in Super Mario Bros.<\/i><\/p>\n

Dexterous isn\u2019t usually the first word that comes to mind when you think of robot hands; most are stiff and, well, robotic (think: C-3PO or Futurama\u2019s<\/i> Bender). But the team, led by assistant professor of mechanical engineering Ryan Sochol, just created a new type of soft robot hand with a high dexterity design capable of doing tasks that require a little more fine-tuning.<\/p>\n

The team worked to create a 3D-printed soft robot hand with integrated fluidic circuitry. That means the robot hand would have a system of tubes in it that would allow liquid or air to move through them as a way to control specific movements (similar to hydraulics) in its actuators, aka its \u201cfingers.\u201d<\/p>\n
