If you can’t read Braille, what do you think of reading a robot hand?
Video Description
A black-gloved, human-sized hand sticks up from a base with about a dozen buttons. As it signs the American Sign Language letters S-U-N it makes a mechanical whirring sound.
Haben: Deafblind people who can’t read Braille may soon have a way to get access to emails and the news through a robot hand. Me personally, I’m Team Braille all the way. I use Braille to access emails and websites. But many Deafblind people can’t read Braille. And we need more ways, more choices to access information. The founder of Tatum Robotics is trying to understand what are some of the reasons Deafblind people don’t read Braille? And if you know, please share in the comments.
The video shifts back to the robot. Haben has her right hand on the buttons, and her left hand on top of the robot. An open laptop sits behind it. Letter by letter the robot signs: Welcome to CSUN.
