This is created using data from a depth camera and artificial intelligence algorithms. To minimize the amount of tubing required for the 'BionicSoftHand', the developers have designed a small, digitally controlled valve island that is attached directly underneath the hand. This means that the hoses for controlling the fingers do not have to be pulled through the entire robotic arm. This means that the 'BionicSoftHand' can be quickly and easily connected and put into operation with just one hose each for supply air and exhaust air. The proportional piezo valves used allow the movements of the fingers to be precisely controlled. The 'BionicSoftArm' is a compact further development of the
