ETH Zurich scientists turn WUJI robotic hand into self-propelled mobile manipulator

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a system where a WUJI robotic hand can crawl, recover from falls, and perform manipulation tasks without a separate mobility system. Using reinforcement learning, the hand learns to support its own weight and move using its fingers. The work was presented in a paper titled 'Fingers as Legs: Learning Self-Supported Locomotion and Manipulation with an Anthropomorphic Hand.'
