In the past two months, i.e. April and May of 2012, based on the test rig set up at KCL, the initial tests and experiments of using the left-hand Shadow hand have been carrying out and some initial results has been achieved. A poster on the progress of this project has been delivered to the ECHORD workshop at ICRA 2012. Further, integrated with force sensor and Kinect vision system, more experiments on manual ham deboning have been realized which will contribute to the development and further experiments to be carried out in this project. A left-hand metamorphic hand is under constructing and will be ready for initial test in the next step
