AI-Powered Robot Reads Braille Over Twice as Fast as Humans
-
Researchers developed an AI-powered robotic sensor that can read braille at 315 words per minute, over twice as fast as the average human.
-
The robot uses machine learning algorithms and a camera-equipped "fingertip" to read braille with 87% accuracy.
-
Its high sensitivity makes it a good model for developing advanced robotic hands or prosthetics.
-
Replicating human fingertip sensitivity in robots has broader applications beyond reading braille.
-
The research challenges replicating complex human tactile skills like grasping objects with the right pressure.
