Abstract

The present disclosure provides a humanoid robot comprising a torso, a head coupled to the torso, an arm assembly coupled to the torso, and an end effector coupled to the arm assembly at a distal end of the arm assembly. The end effector has a palmer side and a dorsal side and includes a thumb assembly having at least three degrees of freedom, a first finger assembly having at least two degrees of freedom, and a vision sensor coupled to a portion of the end effector. The vision sensor is configured to have a field of view that includes a majority of the palmer side of said end effector, and whereby said field of view enables the vision sensor to detect information about contact between an object and one or more of: (i) an extent of the thumb assembly, and (ii) an extent of the first finger assembly.
