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.
Oh nice, so can I.
But you cost money monthly, require insurance, taxes, food, human rights.
Machine is a one time purchase.
Machines require upkeep. Shit wears out, shit breaks down, shit needs a constant stream of lube oil, coolant by the barrel coming in every month, waste coolant shipped somewhere else all the time, shit stops working for no reason. Shit needs to run to make back any money. You’ll have to hire and pay somebody with human rights and an empty stomach since you already know all there is to know about machines. If you think machines don’t break go ahead and open yourself up a machine shop and see how long it lasts with a $0 maintenance budget. Speedrun turning a million dollars into a pile of rusty scrap metal.
Lol what a fucking strawman.
