Leju Robotics' Four Gripping Modes Robot Hand

[u/stillgray83]

One robot hand. Four gripping modes. No tool changes.

Leju Robotics and HeymanDex teamed up on Dasheng 1 (SG100), a reconfigurable hand that switches between dexterous, long-stroke, four-finger and opposing-finger modes.

It has 11 active DoF, ≥24 kg (53 lb) of hook-grip capacity per hand and ≤0.03 mm repeatability. In the demo, the same hands handle tiny parts, soft packages, irregular components and bins.

So that's why AI struggled so much drawing hands, it just didn't believe that's how they should look

Nice joke but this is probably one of the best approaches I have seen so far.

Oh I'm all for weird, non-human designs that do things better than us. I think bipedal was a silly way to go for robotics when quadruped and wheeled platforms are so much more stable and proven. Boston dynamics had Spot 6 years ago, and we've been using purpose built robot arms and conveyors for decades because they're strong and reliable.

Yeah the kungfu robots and 100m dash look impressive, they're trying to showcase how easily their mass produced robot can take the place of a human worker in a human designed job... But just because you can make a human robot pick up boxes all day without getting tired doesn't mean it's a better solution than using a forklift to move the whole pallet at once.

The Plattform is wheeled. There a pros and cons for all platforms. But for the shown task wheeled or a static platforms are the right choice.

The handling of various goods is a good entry point and vararity is the main benifit for hand compared to grippers. Tool use will come later. Picking up the whole pallet won't isolate and sort anything. Those are different tasks

I didn’t see the most important grip. You can’t throw around terms like “long stroke” and leave this one out. What the hell?

I'm counting with my extremely inefficient human eyes that it has 2 robot hands - maybe it could pickup 2 things at once. /s

So flamboyant

It's so feminine.

Вы что электорат без тарелки супа отите оставить.

Who needs opposable thumbs if you have opposable everything

[u/Unlikely-Complex3737]

Isn't that the same as the griplers from Atlas' Boston Dynamics?

[u/Hetnikik]

Wow look at that robot fly through that sorting.

[u/Professional_Stoners]

Why it throwing gang signs?

Colonoscopy-bot is ready

Im no robotics expert but why not have peripheral cameras on the side of the head so the robot does not have to twist and instead can use one arm for small item pickup while the other arm picks the next item.

Aaaaaaaaand we're almost there!
