MIT has created a robot arm that grips based on reflex and can adapt in real time to grab objects. The Robo-Gripper has proximity and contact sensors which allows it to react to surfaces near objects to better grab them. The technology may allow these machines to be used in homes or other unique, unstructured environments. | Mashable
