BeBionic reveals the next-generation of robotic hands, ones that feature "a range of naturally compliant grip patterns that provide repeatable accuracy." Carry on reading for a video presentation. The bebionic range will also include the worlds first powered wrist with rotation as well as flexion/extension. Completing the range is an advanced silicone skin available in 19 skin shades. via

This robotic arm camed from Willow Garage and is pretty awesome. It seems that this robot arm is gravity balanced. It has a very complex mechanics behind it. The capture system has come up with a new teleoperation system for the robot. It seems that this system has many possibilities for fine-grained control of the arm's many degrees of freedom. They are planning to build 10 of these robots and loan them out for free to research labs/startups/universities. Their business model is basically "let's all work together to advance robotics to the point that we can start making money off it". I wish them Good Luck!!!
