Meet the Honda Avatar Robot: an upcoming robot with a multi-fingered hand that will be going through testing in the next few years with a view of being released in the next decade. It can pick up small objects with its fingertips but can also open jar lids like the human hand.
As the company explains:
in order to enable its multi-fingered hand to grasp an object smoothly in one sequence of moves and handle a tool with precise control of force, Honda is working on the further advancement of its original AI-supported remote control function.
