Grippers (VIDEO)
Caption
Researchers have found that activity in the motor cortex that occurs when people watch someone else perform an action is tied to how human-like the action looks. Clinical trial participants watched actions by a realistic-looking human hand, a robotic hand, a three-prong robotic gripper, a cube and a blank space. The motor response was stronger the more human-like the agent was.
