The platform is a dual-arm robotic system with adaptive SoftHands. It moves along a linear guide to precisely grasp and manipulate fragments. Equipped with wrist-mounted cameras, soft high-friction fingertips, and bimanual capability for larger pieces, it automatically adjusts its grip and repositions itself if a grasp attempt fails—ensuring delicate, damage-free handling.
