MozARM's first symphony! Scientists create a 3D-printed robotic hand that can play Jingle Bells

A 3D-printed robot hand that can play simple tunes on the piano, including jingle bells, has been built by scientists. The robotic hand plays simple musical phrases on the piano by moving its wrist. Scientists have said the robot is limited in what it can play but reveals how complex the mechanics of the human hand are and how difficult it is to replicate. The robot hand was made by 3D-printing soft and rigid materials together to replicate all the bones and ligaments in a human hand. The robot hand was made by 3D-printing soft and rigid materials together to replicate all the bones and ligaments - but not the muscles or tendons - in a human hand.
