The Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) is funding ten teams with £52 million to enhance robotic dexterity through innovative projects. The initiative aims to address the widening gap between robotic hardware and rapid advancements in AI. As the global population ages and labor shortages arise, the need for dexterous robots is increasing. Teams consist of startups and research organizations proposing solutions such as biologically inspired mechanical hands and electronic skin that can measure multi-point contact forces, aimed at transforming robotics and boosting human productivity.
The initiative supports diverse approaches, including a mechanical hand and electronic skin, to enhance robots' physical dexterity, bridging the gap with advanced AI algorithms.
With the aging population and labor shortages, ARIA's funding aims to improve robots' dexterity to provide crucial support in various industries.
