The hand stands out for its sensing. For example, a camera in the palm lets it locate objects even when the fingers block the view. In addition, optional tactile sensors in the fingertips feel pressure, sideways force and nearby objects before contact. It wraps its fingers around round or irregular objects, and it can also screw, plug and unplug parts. Therefore, it suits research, education, industrial sorting and even fruit and vegetable harvesting.
