The humanoid hand design is a soft-hard hybrid flexible gripper that can generate larger grasping force than a traditional soft hand and simultaneously be more stable for accurate manipulation of heavier objects.

In industrial settings, robots often are used for tasks that require repetitive grasping and manipulation of objects. A humanoid hand design that is a soft-hard hybrid flexible gripper can generate larger grasping force than a traditional soft hand.

The new hand demonstrated adaptability and compatibility in grasping complex-shaped and fragile objects while simultaneously maintaining a high level of stiffness for exerting strong clamping forces to lift heavy loads.
