Jeffrey C. Trinkle has always had a keen interest in robot hands. And, though it may be a long way off, Trinkle, who has studied robotics for more than thirty years, says he's most compelled by the prospect of robots performing "dexterous manipulation" at the level of a human "or beyond."
"I've always felt that for robots to be really useful they have to pick stuff up, they have to be able to manipulate it and put things together and fix things, to help you off the floor and all that," he says, adding: "It takes so many technical areas together to look at a problem like that that a lot of people just don't bother with it."
