1 reports · 1 sources
Developer eck72 has fitted a new gripper to the robotic arm of the open-source humanoid robot Asimov 1 and begun testing grasping and manipulating objects, with the project entering day 363. The robotic arm previously had sufficient strength; this test marks the robot's shift from mobility tasks to manipulation tasks. Asimov 1 is built from off-the-shelf parts and is fully open source, so developers can reproduce it themselves using publicly available materials. Gripper testing is still ongoing, and measured results on grasping success rates have not yet been published.
