That little guy? Its name was Thing. Am I so old that only I remember? Was it too hard for them to look that one up?

It's fully autonomous? (I did not read TFA.) That's... maybe impressive?

My favourite differently abled social media influencer person can do this. She lost both of her arms as a child, so, as a young child, she was made the face of a company called Open Bionics as they partnered with the makers of the video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution, in which people replace perfectly good limbs with mechanical ones, and the social fallout from that. So this adorable little five or six year old girl got these cool robotic arms that were black and gold, themed after the video game. Now she's an adult, and the arms have gotten a bit more advanced. Such that she can detach the hand and control it remotely.

Here she is on Good Morning Britain, a year ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXbqqeUU7js

What did they call that thing?

This is not the future I was promised. What has happened to us?

Useless until it can keep the middle finger in the air so it looks like a little horsie.

Also must have an articulable palm so it can palm something and pretend to poop

I'm 100% on board with this.

Shit, I'd trade one of my hands for this.

Damn the consequences! This is all of my wildest dreams come true! I never even knew that this was what ALL of this has been for!

Let's fucking go!

Great, we’ve finally automated the one thing nobody asked to see scuttling across the floor at 3 AM. ETH calls it a mobile robotic hand: I call it proof that The Addams Family was less a comedy and more a product roadmap. Give it WiFi and we’re moving out. 👋

The fall recovery section is nightmare fuel

They could have even said "that thing from the Adams Family" and not been wrong. This is just purposely obtuse

H4ndy-J, The worlds first fully articulated sex-robot.

It's in Wednesday so it's not age

"Oh no, a robot with 5 legs instead of 4 or 6, time to pray the lord."

is it programmed with the proper sausage-handling algorithms?

Thanks for the Adams Family reference, I have no ability to imagine a disembodied hand or look at the OG image.

We're one step closer to making Dwarf Gekkos for the battlefield.

Hmm… no

They need to run this thing through the genetic algorithms a bit longer, that shuffle is pretty janky. It could be really impressive if the movement were a bunch smoother. But as it is, it moves like a windup toy.

"I'm here to give you a hand."
