BrainCo’s new Revo 3 dexterous hand has arrived to make you feel thoroughly inadequate about your own biological appendages. Boasting 21 degrees of freedom and a comprehensive full-palm tactile sensor array, this bit of kit doesn’t just move—it senses. It can navigate high-finesse tasks, such as wielding a pair of scissors, entirely by ‘feel’ without the need for external cameras. While most of us are still faffing about with the sticky tape during gift-wrapping season, the Revo 3 is busy cracking Rubik’s Cubes and proving that the future of robotics is becoming quite brilliantly, if a touch eerily, handy.
