HDT Global launched its MK2 robotic arm at the Ground Robotics Capabilities Conference in San Diego last week. The robot is intended, in part, to help members of the military and law enforcement in their duties.
The robot has a human-like hand with an opposable thumb that an operator controls remotely.
“HDTʼ s enhanced MK2 technology incorporates components and software that give this system nearly an order of magnitude performance advantage over anything else out there,” said Tom Van Doren, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer of HDT Robotics in a release. “The new features of the MK2 give the operator nearly the same dexterity, strength and speed as a human, with the safety of performing required tasks hundreds of meters away.”
