A robotic hand inspired by human skin can sense the hardness of an object with just one finger and determine how much force is needed to grasp the object before the rest of the hand closes the grip. Can be done.
While humans learn to hold objects firmly in place and grip them soft enough to avoid breaking them, robots still have difficulties.
