Robot Hands Are Learning to Judge Weight
On this episode of The Robotics Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore a niche problem in robotic manipulation: judging weight. Robotic hands have gotten remarkably good at gripping objects without crushing them, but they still struggle with a surprisingly basic question: will this object be heavy or light? This episode peels back the hardware and software behind tactile force sensors and inertia estimation, and makes sense of why a robot can pick up a box of nails but still be fooled by an empty one.
