The Case Against Human Hands
The Case Against Human Hands The Case Against Human Hands Copying biological morphology imports biological constraints — small fingers, dense cabling, delicate joints — without preserving the biological advantages that justified them: free self-healing, free compliance, a metabolic budget that penalizes large limbs. Robots should buy dexterity along their substrate’s cheap dimensions instead: more arms, simpler contact geometry, and bigger serviceable actuators. The Argument A lot of today’s robot designs are transparently attempts to copy what biology built — humanoid form factors; head-based
