Operational Human-Like Robot Hands

Open AI's Robot Can Seamlessly and Efficiently Complete Tasks

— August 8, 2018 — Tech
A human-like robot hand is developed by not-for-profit organization Open AI. The firm, started by Elon Musk, has succeeded in creating a self-taught algorithm that mimics the agility of authentic human movements. The Dactyl system is trained in a simulation and the acquired knowledge is applied within the parameters of the real word. A video is presented, in which Open AI's human-like robot hand is manipulating a physical block "with unprecedented dexterity" and fluidity of action.

Elon Musk's firm is working on the development of an algorithm through which a robot can be thaught to efficiently execute a variety of tasks without the need for continuous human programming intervention. The video of the human-like robot hand, following specific directions in the manipulation of a cube, is surely a step in that direction.
Trend Themes
1. Human-like Robot Hands - Open AI's development of a self-taught algorithm that mimics authentic human movements presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for AI-assisted human labor.
2. Efficient Task Execution Algorithm - Open AI's success in creating a self-taught algorithm that can execute a variety of tasks without the need for continuous human programming intervention has opened new avenues for automation.
3. Robotic Dexterity and Fluidity - The development of Open AI's Dactyl system has demonstrated the potential for robotic systems to match and even exceed human proficiency in dexterity-intensive labor.
Industry Implications
