I designed something similar to this in Engineering class at Michigan Technological University. We had our robot measure force in the "claws" as it was grabbing an object. Based on AI, once it reached a certain force, it stopped gripping and brought the object to the user. We never actually built the robot, but the simulations seemed to work. The whole thing was more than just the hand, but we did incorporate this idea of not crushing stuff into the design. My point: there are better ways to go about doing this.
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"
