With partners at UCLA and the University of Washington, Sarcos is building STARFISH, a human-like robotic hand that the US Navy can use to investigate, detach, and defuse underwater mines or improvised explosive devices.

Defusing, of course, might be out of the question. That’s already hard enough on land under controlled circumstances with world-class experts. The ocean, however, is anything but controlled.

Non-military uses of the same technology, however, include maintenance of complex offshore infrastructure for the oil and gas industry. That includes tasks like weld inspection on oil rigs, mooring inspection and measurement. and valve inspection and manipulation, the company says.While it does not necessarily need to be anthropomorphic or have five fingers, Pederson says, it does need to be conformable so that it can handle nonstandard situations, tools, and objects.
