the device has no batteries, electronics, servos or actuators. Instead, each digit incorporates a simple mechanism which, when pushed by the surviving part of the wearer’s finger, curls a set of artificial phalanges.

engineers have invented a new kind of robotic hand with a human’s delicate sense of touch. The engineers’ trick was to use soft, stretchable optoelectronic (light + electronics) sensors in the fingers to detect shape and texture. (The sensors in existing prosthetic and robot hands use cruder tactile, or touch, sensors with bulky, rigid motors to measure strain.) The new prosthetic hand is a lot more sensitive. It can measure softness or hardness, how much the material stretches when touched, and how much force needs to be supplied to make the material deform.

I believe in the next 10 years we will have bionic legs that are better than human legs
