Handroid – The Advanced Robot Hand That Could One Day Be Used by Amputees
It might look like something from the Terminator films, but this low-cost, flexible robot hand could be the future of prosthetics.
The Handroid is a remotely-operated five finger hand. It weighs only 700 grams, and is available to purchase for just £4,000. Japanese company ITK designed the hand to be used in engineering situations too dangerous for normal hands, but now have plans to turn it into a prosthesis.
