“A humanoid robot cutting a cucumber with a knife. It looks like a simple task, but a lot is happening under the surface. The robot must control its grip, coordinate both hands, adjust the knife angle and apply the right amount of force. One small mistake can make the cucumber slip or the cut go wrong. What catches my attention is the level of coordination required for such an ordinary task. Human hands make it look easy. For a robot, every movement requires precise control,” the post read.
