This invention describes a robotic hand designed with only two fingers, which are not identical to each other. Each of these independent fingers has its own motor built directly into the hand itself. The design is specifically narrowed to include a special type of gripper at the end of each finger that uses granular material, like sand, to conform to and grip objects.
Why it matters: Miniaturized, high-torque motors and advanced flexible materials for grippers have significantly improved since 2013. This makes integrating the specified components into a compact, dexterous hand more practical.
