Great Limited demo, but where is the text write up? What is the hand attached to? Human machine? It still acts a little sticky in the joint function, or is it in the signal from the controler? Why wrap it in a glove to demo in sand and water? Surely it should be water proof by nature, and haven't they used a hard silicon sort of material to coat the joints. how much real world testing? where is the web site for more info? Don't just tease us man, we all know someone who has lost a member, who could really use a working model of this gadget! IS someone also working on replacing a missing foot like this one for a hand? One that can do the sensing of the actual foot with the same flexibility to alter and maintain balance... Just some questions... You gotta start talking to the VA and The DVA groups.
