Hank Robot Has the Human Touch

May-20-19 The impressively dexterous Hank robot can mimic the ability of the human hand to pick up small and delicate objects.

Developed by a team from Cambridge Consultants, Hank is equipped with hollow, silicon fingers that are embedded with sensors during the molding process. The fingers are pneumatically controlled, flexible and food-safe, and can also be easily replaced if they become damaged. Because each finger reacts individually in response to sensor feedback, they can carefully close until making contact with the object—offering a level of control ideal for agricultural work and warehouse picking.
