Why don't we put together this thing's steam power and Festo's fluidic muscles? I think that would end up as a rather realistic arm...

Well it would be more practical to be armed than have some skin like material but this far from as good as real arm tho but we are getting there.

Great work guys.

I doubt there is anything better or more righteous then giving an amputee their mobility, and independence back.

I hope one day i can contribute something as awesome as this to society.

I have seen some prosthetics that are amazing. This guy obviously cant afford them.

Humanity has broken the bonds of time since 1900...spaceships may not be so far away...Remember that we didnt have electricity 150 years ago.

At the end, was the woman using this tech or old tech? I couldn't tell.
