Chris Paxton(@chris_j_paxton):This seems cool: up to 4.5kg grasp load (though very much depending on grasp), seems like it has passive/mechanical backdrivable joints, and active stiffness control. Seems much, much more like a human hand than most things I have seen. Implemented in part via a low-backlash, low-damping reducer; which is interesting. Potentially how they avoid the need for qdd/low gear ratio actuators, but still get mechanical transparency.
