- This paper demonstrates the concept of mechanical intelligent design through the development of a passive robotic hand which can be used for dexterous behaviour and constitutes a seminal work on using the body to facilitate control and perception in robots in order to achieve intelligent behaviour. The results featured in The New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/19/science/piano-robot-hand.html) and international broadcasting channels. The results were exploited in the contest for EPSRC MOTION - Morphological Computation for Perception and Action (EP/N029003/1) and has constituted the base for further studies on morphological computation and sensory-motor coordination in publications (see: 10.1371/journal.pone.0237379, 10.1007/s10514-020-09931-y, 10.1109/RoboSoft48309.2020.9116057)
