On October 17, a research team at the University of Tsukuba announced that they had developed a robot that moves like a hand that grips and returns your grip when you hold it in your hand. The robot is nicknamed “Reliebo”. It is about the size of a fist and covered with plush fabric. The act of rubbing the body to relieve pain is routine in nursing and caregiving settings, and its effectiveness has been studied. When you hold it, an airbag built into the torso reacts, giving you the sensation of being squeezed your hand back. Mr. Tanaka said, “It is possible that the effect is similar to being touched by a person. We would like to make use of this technology in busy workplaces”.
