    Researchers at the RAI Institute have created the Koala gripper, designed to enable robots to handle tools and objects with greater naturalness. The system features both a handheld version for human use and a motorized version for robots, each sharing the same design and sensors. By learning from human demonstrations, the gripper aims to improve robotic manipulation. More details can be found at and

    Researchers at RAI Institute have developed the Koala Gripper to help robots handle tools and objects more naturally. The system includes a handheld version for humans and a motorized version for robots. Both use the same design, sensors, and movements. Humans use the gripper to perform real tasks while cameras and force sensors record the data. The robot then learns from those actions and repeats them using its own Koala Gripper.
