MarwaEldiwiny · x · 2026-07-18
This share features a discussion on the Mia Hand, focusing on the robotic end-effector design debate: “grippers or hands.”
The content highlights two main points:
- Francesco Clemente and the Prensilia team discuss the design trade-offs of the Mia Hand
- A new Substack's inaugural post argues “Grippers or Hands: A False Dichotomy,” suggesting robotic end-effectors shouldn't be simply binary
Overall, it's a robotics hardware topic centered on engineering and design judgment.
