how tight can it squeeze?

It looks more impressive than it actually is. The human hand is infinitely better than this, and this requires a huge valve/pump/hose/manifold system.

tight enough

One step closer to rub and tug supermodel androids practical robotics!

Lol, they say that they accept preorders in the website (But they don't), they also have some new (quite different, more robotic) videos...

Anyway it looks cool, but speaking honestly, deep inside, I can't help but think that it has to be some kind of scam...I mean, it's too cool to have a patreon with a few hundred dollars....

Look their channel, they have been working in this for years.

Fap-o-hand 3000

This is very old...and not actually useful.

As a 25 year old stroke patient with a relatively useless limb I really really fucking wish something like this or neuro link will restore movement to my wrist and fingers. Born too soon I guess

Sarif industries origin story

Oh they changed their name. Used to be called "automation robotics", was thinking the project just up and died when I couldn't find it

We all know how this technology will eventually be used

> this requires a huge valve/pump/hose/manifold system

so does a human hand

To move people's mice at work so they can take a shit?

It’s much bigger than what a human hand requires

But can it feel!?

I bet you'll see some astonishing developments either in bionics or neurological repair in the next 10-20 years

Yet one less workout excuse gone...

Finally can hold my phone with two hands

Honestly, you’re on time, if Ray Kurzweil is right we are on the “knee” of the curve of exponential technology growth, you’ll see crazy new advancements 10-20 years from now.

neat, tho we can't see what the arm is attached to whish makes me thing that there is probably a huge jumble of servos hidden out of sight to make the whole thing work.

but it's definitely promising, and if the ""only"" major problem left is powering it then it has great potential for prosthetics, it might require a backpack or at least a pouch to house the electronics, but between that and not having a functional arm I doubt anyone in need of such a prosthetic would mind wearing a pouch all day long.

and with sensor based brain-computer interface starting to become practical, that opens up a lot of possibility.

the whole thing is relatively simple in principle as well, it's mostly the software that complicated, so making other limbs is probably only a matter of time.

hopefully not too tight for safety.

you wouldn't want it crushing your.. hand. yes, handholding robot..

Could this be a possible acquisition for Boston Dynamics?

This makes Terminator 2 look horrifically outdated. In that movie, the endoskeleton shows completely mechanical looking parts that supposedly mimic infiltration-level human movements. But this video highlights the fact that in order to create human-like movements, you need human-like parts. And this is clearly just the beginning. 10-15 years from now we're going to see entire synthetic human bodies. It's going to be very interesting.

The arm in new videos is almost identical.

It depends, are we including heart for pumping? And what about power delivery, should we include guts and lungs?

I hope it strokes hard when we shake our hands

yes, a good handshake is very important for bussiness.
