Thanks to its low weight, the Bionic Tripod 3.0 can be moved in an energy-efficient and highly dynamic manner. The low centre of gravity of the entire system provides additional stability for precise alignment with short travel.
With its DHDG-W-80 adaptive gripping finger incorporating the Fin Ray Effect®, Bionic Tripod 3.0 can securely grasp objects of various shapes and contours located above it in a form-fitting manner and deposit them to the side. The working and drive levels are spatially separated by the work surface. The system's drive unit is safely located and protected beneath the work surface.

Durch sein geringes Gewicht lässt sich der Bionic Tripod 3.0 energieeffizient und hochdynamisch bewegen. Der niedrige Schwerpunkt des gesamten Systems verleiht zusätzliche Stabilität für eine präzise Ausrichtung mit kurzen Verfahrwegen.
Mit seinem adaptiven Greiffinger DHDG-W-80 mit Fin Ray Effect® kann der Tripod formschlüssig und sicher über Kopf greifen und Objekte unterschiedlichster Form und Kontur seitlich ablegen. Die Arbeitsplatte trennt Arbeitsebene und Antriebsebene räumlich. Die Antriebstechnik des Systems ist sicher und geschützt untertisch montiert.
This looks like the kind of thing Tony Stark (Iron Man) would have ;)

I have seen something similar back in the late 60's early 70's.
Was for a much larger cable driven industrial robot arm using saucer shaped hollow metal spheres to provide rigidity up the centre with cables for tension only (rather than stiffness too as shown here).
The flexible cable manipulator is a novel touch but again not new.

@Woopee Haha true, put a grabber on the end and you've got a giant manipulator for building around it :P

Maybe Festo could do a few adjustments to the Eiffel Tower.
