The fall recovery section is nightmare fuel
That little guy? Its name was Thing. Am I so old that only I remember? Was it too hard for them to look that one up?
He’s in the Netflix show.
“I’m here to give you a hand.”
Seems… handy.
There really is some futuristic novel hidden there: Robotic hands being dropped by drones over enemy facilities. Sneaking in, pressing buttons to sabotage production or to launch vehicles. People getting murdered in their sleep by robotic hands choking them.
the hand is given a skin with fingerprints to frame the main character.
It’s fully autonomous? (I did not read TFA.) That’s… maybe impressive?
My favourite differently abled social media influencer person can do this. She lost both of her arms as a child, so, as a young child, she was made the face of a company called Open Bionics as they partnered with the makers of the video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution, in which people replace perfectly good limbs with mechanical ones, and the social fallout from that. So this adorable little five or six year old girl got these cool robotic arms that were black and gold, themed after the video game. Now she’s an adult, and the arms have gotten a bit more advanced. Such that she can detach the hand and control it remotely.
Here she is on Good Morning Britain, a year ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXbqqeUU7js
This is not the future I was promised. What has happened to us?
It’s in Wednesday so it’s not age
Useless until it can keep the middle finger in the air so it looks like a little horsie.
Also must have an articulable palm so it can palm something and pretend to poop
H4ndy-J, The worlds first fully articulated sex-robot.
is it programmed with the proper sausage-handling algorithms?
Yup, one hand holds it down while the other hand cuts it to pieces.
Great, we’ve finally automated the one thing nobody asked to see scuttling across the floor at 3 AM. ETH calls it a mobile robotic hand: I call it proof that The Addams Family was less a comedy and more a product roadmap. Give it WiFi and we’re moving out. 👋
Give it WiFi
A cell radio would permit for more travel range.
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
That quote keeps becoming relevant far too much as time goes on.
Well I mean given that we have many non able bodies ppl this can be relatively helpful for them possibly. I am mostly able bodies so I don’t know
