University of Wollongong Introduces Soft Robotic Hand

This week at the University of Wollongong's (UOW) Innovation Campus, researchers introduced a soft robotic hand that's extremely close in both function and feel to a real human hand. An interface that's placed directly on a person's arm muscles allows the lightweight, low-cost prototype robotic hand to respond to signals from the brain, just like a real hand. The lead UOW researcher, Professor Gursel Alici, said that they worked with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES) on the project, using the ACES 3D printing capabilities and smart materials.
