Gifu University Japan's HIRO III Is Opening Newer Possibilities
Touching the virtual objects will soon be a reality and a major step in this direction has been taken by Kawasaki & Mouri Laboratories at Gifu University in Japan. The robotic interface when coupled with a virtual display can give you a sense of weight and contour of the 3D object.
The robot uses combination of 15 motors to give a real-time feedback to the hand. This is being considered as a breakthrough in interface technology. Possible application of HIRO III could be in medical diagnostics. Watch the following video for a demo -
Can you think of few applications of HIRO III?
