If a person woke up with these instead of their regular hands, they\u2019d never stop screaming. Let\u2019s go to the videotape:<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"SayuM8E_WaQ\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/SayuM8E_WaQ\/hqdefault.jpg');\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Gripping delicate items with robot hands usually requires advanced sensors and algorithms, not to mention a damn good pilot. So Harvard created one that uses soft, inflatable tubing able to dexterously wrap around difficult objects without needing such feedback controls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new approach to robotic grasping complements existing solutions by replacing simple, traditional grippers that require complex control strategies with extremely compliant, and morphologically complex filaments that can operate with very simple control,\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seas.harvard.edu\/news\/2022\/10\/tentacle-robot-can-gently-grasp-fragile-objects\">said Engineering and Applied Sciences Professor Robert Wood<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The gripper features pneumatic rubber filaments that can inflate and gently entangle an object, \u201csimilar to how jellyfish collect stunned prey,\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seas.harvard.edu\/news\/2022\/10\/tentacle-robot-can-gently-grasp-fragile-objects\">the announcement explains<\/a>. Those filaments can then release the equally stunned object by simply depressurizing.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers tested the gripper on a range of objects, including houseplants and toys, probably grabbing the latter way more gently than children do. But since no one needs robots to handle toys, they also have real-world applications like grabbing delicate tissue in medical settings, glassware in warehouses, and even soft fruits and vegetables in agricultural industries. Hard fruits like pineapples can handle themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The only downside is that this may be yet another example of robot automation taking jobs away from jellyfish and octopi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
