AIFingers as Legs: a robotic hand reportedly walks on its fingertips
One of the project's creators says the aim is to let the hand reach a task without an arm, then use the same fingers to do the work.
TLDR
A creator of Fingers as Legs says they taught a robotic hand to walk on its fingertips. Another post sharing the paper attributes the project to ETH Zürich and says the hand runs untethered, with power and computing onboard. That account describes crawling, steering and recovery after being knocked over. It also describes the hand executing keyboard commands without vision while supporting its own weight, and pushing an object to target positions using overhead visual feedback.
