It's true that the Bionic Handling Assistant stays in place. We still need to check if the spare parts for the arm are the same for both robots. That would greatly simplify repairs.
Thank you. Simplicity is always the best solution. Fewer parts, fewer problems.
Even if the BionicSoftHand 2.0 robotic hand is a truly advanced system, categorizing it as a "human-robot collaboration" is not the simplest and most accurate description. It is just a sophisticated tool, like my new dishwasher. It does the job it's asked to do, certainly with more sensors, but it does not "collaborate" with me to decide the washing program. For example, my washing machine does not tell me that a T-shirt is too dirty for a short cycle; it executes. Collaboration is between two conscious entities.
Claiming that the BionicSoftHand 2.0 system is a major driver of human-robot collaboration is complicating things unnecessarily. A robotic hand, even with its sensors and articulated movements, remains a tool. Collaboration is the complete organization that goes with it, not just cutting-edge technology; it's like having the best notebook doesn't guarantee my child will do their homework.
Separating the BionicSoftHand 2.0 from the human-robot collaboration simply complicates things without reason.
A tool like this hand makes work simpler and safer for humans.
If a tool helps achieve this safety goal, it is an integral part of collaboration, period.
It's like saying a spoon isn't useful for eating, when it actually makes the act of eating possible.
It's a matter of definition of collaboration. The BionicSoftHand 2.0 is a complex tool, yes, but it's a tool. We don't call my husband's cordless drill a "collaborator" just because it helps him assemble IKEA furniture. Simplicity is crucial: a robot that performs tasks is not a partner.
La BionicSoftHand 2.0 est une main robotique souple et hautement intégrée.
Elle utilise des composants pneumatiques et des capteurs intégrés pour des mouvements précis.
Cette main est conçue pour assister les humains dans des tâches dangereuses ou monotones.
L'intelligence artificielle joue un rôle central dans son fonctionnement.
Elle s'inspire de la main humaine pour sa force et sa dextérité.
Exemples
The BionicSoftHand 2.0 is a robotic hand, not necessarily a human-robot collaboration in its entirety. A simple tool is not enough to create collaboration. For collaboration to exist, there must be direct interaction and a common goal; otherwise, it's just a robot performing a task autonomously. It's like saying my washing machine collaborates with me just because it washes my socks.

Affirmer que le Bionic Handling Assistant est une simple sous-catégorie du BionicMobileAssistant n'est pas tout à fait juste, surtout quand on pense à la flexibilité demandée ici.
Dans notre contexte industriel, un bras robotique peut être installé sur diverses plateformes, pas seulement un système mobile spécifique.
Ce n'est pas une classification universelle; la relation dépend vraiment de l'application finale.
Par exemple, un bras peut servir pour l'assemblage de précision sur un établi fixe, tandis que le robot mobile se charge du transport entre les postes, des tâches bien différentes.
I agree, the image of a screwdriver helping to assemble IKEA furniture strikes a chord. It puts things into perspective to understand what is a real partner or just a good tool.
Calling a robotic hand BionicSoftHand 2.0 from the "collaboration" is an unnecessary complication of language.
A hand, even very sophisticated, is just a tool.
A screwdriver does not "collaborate" with the worker; it is used by the worker to do a more efficient job.
Simplicity tells us that a machine performs a task, it does not "collaborate"; the simplest is always the best.
Classifying the BionicSoftHand 2.0 directly within human-robot collaboration is a bit hasty; it is crucial to distinguish between a tool and a process. This robotic hand is a fantastic technical aid, that's true, but it is a means, not the end.
There needs to be an integration and specific protocols for a tool to become genuine collaboration, much like a stethoscope is a tool for diagnosis, not the diagnosis itself.
Without a precise framework for dynamic interaction between humans and machines, it's just a sophisticated robot that can facilitate work, not a collaboration.
The BionicSoftHand 2.0 belongs to the category of specialized tools, and not to the broader category of human-robot collaboration as understood in industry.
It's like differentiating a nurse's syringe: the syringe is a work instrument, the nurse is a partner in care.
Even a very advanced tool has no autonomy or intention; it performs functions.
Confusing the two obscures the essential distinctions between technical assistance and genuine reciprocal interaction.
How can this “BionicSoftHand 2.0” be classified as a human-robot collaboration if it doesn't make decisions?
For me, it should be placed in the right category: it's an assistive tool, not a collaborator.
A robotic hand, even sophisticated, is like a good scalpel for a surgeon: essential for precision, but the surgeon is the main actor who collaborates with the patient.
True collaboration involves bidirectional interaction, mutual adjustment, like a robot that would adapt its force when lifting a load with a worker, not just equipment that executes.
Without this dynamic interaction, we talk about automation or assistance, not real collaboration.
It's a very good observation to see these systems working together, and I agree that fruit picking and handing it to a person can be seen as a more specific application of bionic manipulation. However, the relationship between manipulating a ball and fruit picking to then give it to someone is not always a simple evolution; there are situations where the coordination of both arms and the recognition of fruit ripeness introduce challenges that are of a different nature, somewhat like learning to walk and then having to dance the tango. The delicacy needed to avoid damaging the fruit is another level of complexity, for example.

Claiming that the BionicSoftHand 2.0 is an example of human-robot collaboration in industry is a bit rushing.
If we started from zero, without the sunk cost of the general idea of collaborative robots, would we classify a simple robotic hand as a full collaboration?
In reality, a hand, even very sophisticated, remains a component; it only becomes "collaborative" if integrated into a larger system, as if saying a forklift is a complete warehouse.
