R&D of “Self-learning robot hand”

Business Plan

Our original “Pre-Touch Sensor” can understand shape and position of the object in real time. “Flexible Actuator” is robot hand structure technology to achieve flexibility and high precision. We develop original high-function robot hand by combining these two core technologies, and install “self-learning algorithm” to realize entirely new robot hand that enables bulk picking of multiple types objects without teaching.

Research Outline

We already almost have completed development of robot hand that enables bulk picking of multiple types objects. However, it must be essential to develop further technology of controlling robot hand automatically in terms of user-friendly. Therefore, we newly progress development of [1]self-learning algorithm (to presume the best way of grasping trying repeatedly by itself) and [2]further evolution of hardware (to drastically expand variety of objects to handle and the way of grasping). We aim to realize cutting edge robot hand that can achieve both flexibility and learning ability.
