Considering how many complex motions the human hand must make to play the piano, it is easy to understand just how difficult the robot was to conceptualize and create. Needless to say it&#8217;s a work in progress and will still be worked upon by the research team.<\/p>\n<p>It was\u00c2\u00a0made by 3D-printing soft and rigid materials together to replicate of all the bones and ligaments in a human hand. No it does not have\u00c2\u00a0the muscles or tendons of a regular human hand and is very limited in the scope of what it can do. The mechanical design tried to give the robotic hand the widest range of motion possible and when you hear it playing the piano, you may be tempted to believe that it is actually a\u00c2\u00a0virtuoso.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musical sense has always been the domain of human beings and not robots.
