Handoid: Inter-morphologic Robotic Hand Avatar for Multi Presence

Robotic hands have been developed by many researchers to emulate human hand dexterity to enhance object manipulation. However, the mainstream of the robotic hand has been designed as part of the user’s body, and research scopes have been limited to improving functions to achieve human hands.
In this paper, we propose Handoid, a novel robotic hand avatar that switches its morphology between acting as a part of a humanoid robot and an independent hand-shaped robot avatar physically separated from the main body.
The prototype consists of a human-like robotic hand, an avatar robot acting as a user’s alter ego, a detachable mechanism for seamless attachment/detachment, and control software incorporating machine learning for generating walking motions. In the demonstration, users can experience the intuitive control of the telexistence robot, and the semi-autonomous walking of the robotic hand. This opens up novel possibilities for robotic hands.
