Project Objectives #
The project aims to develop advanced robotic hands equipped with tactile, proximity, and temperature sensing, supported by a grasp library for common manipulation tasks. It will improve teleoperation through haptic feedback and introduce perception and control modules for object detection and autonomous grasping. The overall system will be tested in diverse environments to ensure robust, reliable performance.
Expected Outcomes #
The primary expected outcome of this project lies in the scientific and engineering domain, where we aim to advance robotic manipulation, sensing, and control. Our main target groups during the project are robotics researchers, engineers, and developers, who will directly benefit from the new tools, methods, and insights created. The work will contribute new knowledge and technical capabilities to the research community and support further innovation in robotic hands and sensor-driven control.
If the project proves successful, it might also enable broader impact for additional groups in the future. In economic terms, industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, logistics, and healthcare may benefit from improved automation technologies. Societally, the results could eventually support care providers, medical staff, and people who rely on assistance in daily tasks. Environmentally, more efficient robotic solutions could help organizations working toward reduced waste and better resource management.
