jcasman writes "Wired's got a piece on building a better robotic hand at Standford. The current robot is called "Stair 1.0." If you reach and grab at something, you need to understand if you've succeeded. If not, try again. If still unsuccessful, trying a new approach. "The trick is to build robots that act more like children than machines." Wonder how you build in "giving up"?"
