This paper proposes a dual-arm robot system with a multi-fingered robot hand made of shape memory gel. The system includes robot hands, robot arms and a 3D camera to grasp various objects. The shape memory gel can be deformed at high temperature and the hand is designed so that various shapes such as a spoon-like shape, a fork-like shape can be realized. The deformation of the hand is realized by two 6-DOF robot arms. The 3D camera is used for the measurement of the objects and the robot hands. The robot system is under development and a simple example of the motion using the robot system is presented.
