Japan-based technology startup ITK has brought us one step closer to Robocalypse. Roboticists in the world are working on the production of sensitive hands of robots suitable for touching people or breakable objects, a problem that is extremely difficult to solve.
ITK now throwing their hat into the ring with Handroid, new model, which is one of the most advanced robot hands there. Five sport fully movable fingers Handroid looks a lot like the hands, used by Arnold Schwarzenegger Terminator 2.
Operators can remotely control each finger (you can simulate motion Handroid operator), for example, in environments where it is too dangerous for use by human hands. 740 g Handroid is very light, prompting ITK to explore possibilities for the development of the prosthetic hand that can be controlled by brain waves or cerebral nerves.
ITK plans to commercialize the Handroid in about two years for about $ 6500 per unit – a very low price for such a device.
