    Incredible - looks like the kind of research that would benefit amputees, rather than make millions for some manufacturer.

    still wild... and yes, I would love to see it get down to the amputee level

    I'd be tempted to amputate my own hand if I could get one that slick as a replacement!

    (So says a guy who just spent twenty minutes clearing wet glass shards off his kitchen floor because his stupid fingers couldn't hold onto a plate...)

    I anyone else freaked out and the crazy ability that our robot overlords will have in tying us up, dribbling on our heads, throwing us into the air and catching us with a pair of tweezers before spinning us with their fingers?

    I think that freaks me out more than the lasers and machine guns.
