What do you think? Is this a robotic hand? In a food and machinery event (FOOMA JAPAN 2009) in Japan, this robotic hand was introduced. On close up, it looks just the same as a normal hand. However, beneath it holds a few technology that allows it to handle delicated food like Sushi or strawberries. Video Link after the break.
The robot hand comes with fingernails intact! It is actually made of silicon and the highlight of this hand is the actuators. The inventor uses air to activate the actuator. As the actuator is very sensitive, it is able to handle delicate things like food. However, this technology goes beyond food. In future, it may be made into a prosthetic arm for amputees.
