Mechanical hand will teach you to draw

Saurab Datta, a student at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design (Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design), built a robot that controls humans as part of his educational project . But so far only in the good sense of the word: a robotic arm can teach you to play a musical instrument or to draw.

Of course, you are unlikely to immediately start playing as a professional pianist or become the best artist on DeviantArt in 21 days. Also, the robot does not help you master the art of transferring fantasy to paper or the correct visual perception. But at least it is quite possible to feel and correctly reproduce the basic movements with its help.

As Datta himself writes: “The goal of the system and its software was to understand how people adapt to the conditions when they have different methods with the machine for achieving the same goal. How do they complement each other or counteract each other. ”

It would be interesting with this device to try and learn some fine motor skills. Also in the near future, such a variant of interaction between the teacher and the student is quite possible, when the teacher not only tries to explain something to the student in words, but can directly direct his movements, even communicating with him remotely via the Internet.
