Engineers from Federal technical schools Lausanne (Federal polytechnical school Lausanne) to Switzerland and the Netherlands Delftsky Tekhnologichesky university (Delftsky polytechnic university) developed a prototype Handling robot for safe interaction with people and delicate managements subjects. The device imitates soft touches of trunks of elephants and flexible shchupalets of octopuses. At the heart of development new architecture the robotized hand.
