The technology, called Fragile Object Grasping with Tactile Sensing (FORTE), combines advanced tactile sensing with soft robotics.
The breakthrough could improve robot performance when a light touch is needed, such as in health care and manufacturing.
Why not just use a raspberry or a potatoe chip instead of objects as fragile as them?
You’d have to keep switching between raspberries and potato chips and the robot would get all messy.
If they want to use it in healthcare as stated they need to teach it to get a little messy.
Blood is probably more viscous than raspberry juice.
