Dexterous Manipulation Needs within Industry

This past January, Robotiq was at the Automate 2013 show. We were featured in our partner's booth and we also took part in a workshop on Dexterous Manipulation for Manufacturing Applications. CTO, Jean-Philippe Jobin, one of the co-founders of Robotiq, was there to discuss the challenges of dexterous hands in the industry. The main goal of the workshop was to define the application of dexterous robot technologies in order to meet industry requirements. The National Institute of Standard Technology (NIST) just recently released their final report on this workshop. A lot of issues were discussed and a lot of interesting information was shared during this event. We would like to share this information with you through a series of interesting articles. Here, we start with the needs for dexterous manipulation within industry.
