Robotic hand with a delicate grip - Empire Robotics at CES 2015

The video discusses a unique gripper technology that uses air pressure and the jamming phase transition to handle delicate objects. This technology is particularly useful in industrial manufacturing for gripping various objects without damaging them. The gripper's development was supported by NSF funding, and it is now being commercialized for industrial applications. The gripper is versatile, allowing for automation of complex gripping tasks, and is expected to become a go-to solution for various industries.
