Robot Revolution: 3D robotic arm at Open Bionics at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory

The video tutorial discusses five different functions controlled by muscle contractions in the forearm, including thumb, index finger, pinch, tripod, and open/close actions. It explores the potential for direct nervous system input and highlights the benefits of muscle development through constant use. The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of these functions.

Which of the following is NOT one of the hand functions described in the video?

• Index finger function

• Pinch function

• Thumb function

• Wave function

How are the hand functions switched according to the video?

• By rotating the wrist

• By voice command

• By pressing a button

• By holding the hand up

What is a potential improvement mentioned for controlling hand functions?

• Gesture control

• Using a remote control

• Direct input into the nervous system

• Voice recognition

What is one of the benefits of using these hand functions as mentioned in the video?

• Increased arm muscle strength

• Faster typing speed

• Improved hand-eye coordination

• Better grip on objects

What is a physical impact of using these hand functions frequently?

• Reduced hand size

• Improved flexibility

• Decreased muscle mass

• Increased fatigue
