Anyone can build one of these robot hands… 👀 #trendingshorts #robot #opensource #tech

This robotic hand costs less than $2,000 and can be 3D printed in a single day. It also just ran autonomously for seven hours without a single hardware failure…👀 Researchers at ETH Zurich created ORCA, an open-source tendon-driven hand with tactile sensors on each fingertip, a self-calibration system, and joints designed to dislocate rather than break under stress. Comparable robotic hands with human-like dexterity typically cost over $100,000 and require enterprise-level maintenance. ORCA can hold over 20 pounds and learn manipulation tasks through both imitation learning and simulation-to-real transfer. All design files and source code are publicly available one their website: orcahand.com and on GitHub - github.com/orcahand
