Robotics as technology has big part of today’s research, inventions and investment. Human body movements are the most sensitive issues in robotic science, which researchers and scientist try to copy with robotics objects. As robotic come a long way Intel researchers have designed a robotic hand that is able to sense the general shape of objects before interacting with them.

The hand uses fish-like electrolocation to bounce electric fields off of objects and then conform the hand to that shape in real time. This method is called “Pre Touch”.

The researchers can use this technique to give robots a sense that has a longer range than touch but a shorter range than vision.

So, Intel finally achieves something unique. You can see the presentation of “nervous robotic hand” movement on this video.
