The pressure of RAPHaEL’s grasp depends on the compressor’s air pressure. The individual fingers are guided by microcontroller commands. This makes the design impressively precise.
Well it’s not as brilliant as what the engineers of Virginia Tech came up with, but it’s definitely something new. The

It’s the digital age, thank goodness, and there’s no more need to lug around rolls of film during your travel expeditions.
