Super robust robot hand - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqmRKqFqiok[/media] I, for one, welcome our robotic overlords :tinfoil:

It has finally been done. A good step closer to skynet

Is it stronger than a real arm though? I don't want to get into an "accident" just to get one that [b]can't[/b] rip the arms of my enemies!

[QUOTE=GreenLeaf;27699330]Is it stronger than a real arm though? I don't want to get into an "accident" just to get one that [b]can't[/b] rip the arms of my enemies![/QUOTE] Technically the material this is made of is a lot tougher than bone and flesh. The actual force it can exert is probably dependent on parts. A model stronger than necessary would just end up costing you a lot more and probably wouldn't be covered by medical insurance.

[QUOTE=Ohforf;27699583]If these get developed to work perfectly I might have to amputate my both arms to get awesome rape-a-lot arms like these[/QUOTE] Again, it would quite literally cost you an arm and a leg.

[QUOTE=BigOwl;27699618]Again, it would quite literally cost you an arm and a leg.[/QUOTE] If it's truly reliable, then i'd probably be willing. Just to be one of the first.

Fuck yeah. Definitely replacing my left arm with one of these motherfuckers.

[QUOTE=LordApocca;27699930]If it's truly reliable, then i'd probably be willing. Just to be one of the first.[/QUOTE] Better hope there isn't any glitches in the programming. There's still a LOT of work to be done before these arms are compatible with the human nerve endings.

Give it some sort of way to be controlled by the nervous system and easily grafted onto the body and I'm a happy camper.

I shall await the singularity.

Until robot arms can feel, I don't want one. Numb arm after sleeping on it feels terrible. You can move it but you can't feel how much force you're applying or if you are even touching anything. Not to mention with real arm you can feel where it is, but with this one you are forced to look at it. [editline]28th January 2011[/editline] Though it sure is better than no arm at all.

I wonder how it feels to swing a hammer on an incredibly expensive robot arm.
