Original: ETH teaches a commercial robot hand to crawl and press keys

Researchers at ETH Zurich have trained a commercially available robot hand to crawl across surfaces and press keys, skills that go well beyond typical robotic gripper tasks. The work demonstrates how learning-based control can give off-the-shelf hardware unexpected dexterity. Robotics watchers see it as another sign of rapid progress in robot manipulation research.

Why now: A well-known robotics lab has shown a commercial robot hand performing unusual dexterous movements, drawing attention to advances in robot control.
