Human Assisted Robotic Grasping
Over 10% of the US population are dependent on other individuals for their daily survival. This includes elderly, disabled, and children who through no fault of their own are stuck in nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and daycares. Current solutions require another individual to take care of these people, and as we know, humans are not always reliable. In the future, humanoid robots will be able to give these individuals the independence they once had. However, this requires the ability for robots to properly grasp objects.
