The Linkerbot L30 is an incredibly agile robotic hand that can tighten and loosen different types of screws in seconds. The L30 is biometric, tendon-driven, and uses adaptive grasping, all of which allow it to have the same or better flexibility in comparison to a human hand.

When robotic hands move past human anatomy, they don’t just use tools they become the tool.
