The Aiko hand by Dr. Trung is meant to augment our human ability, and the latest version is a far cry from the initial prototype designs. This revamped Aiko hand is now much more feminine (don't worry, you don't have to fork out extra dough for skin creams and moisturizers), featuring five movable fingers and a high level of dexterity. One would think that the next logical step would be feedback sensors. Hopefully this robot hand will be cheap enough in the near future to be incorporated into disabled folks for everyday use.
