Nice to meet you BeBionic myo-electric bionic hand
*shakes hand... Literally*
@Joe Cool
It remind me of the hand of Will Smith in I-Robot.
@ZeCoder
D'oh....how old is my generation when this is what I think about:

@NaeemTHM I'm 19 and I thought that exact same thing. This hand is awesome though!
Why are these hands so slow? Hackers should over clock to faster than human speeds
@Joe Cool
Wow that's a nice design.
I can see that would be very effective for a Cyborg to choke a Human to death with.
Said Cyborg could also easily handle any firearm with a pistol grip.
Thanks for helping me envision the end of the world BeBionic!
@broli Comsidering the average hacker has little time to meet chicks I'd say the code is being hacked as we speak.
@NaeemTHM Who's force is stronger Luke's or Bebionic.
@broli yea but could imagine what a bitch it would be to have to flash new bios to your other hand?
I see the fingers can move in/out, but not side to side.
These bionic hands are still nigh useless if they cant do the Vulcan greeting
So I just have to wait another month to cut off my hands and have them replaced? SWEET!!!
@Booksmart Devil
i'ld rather wait for wowwee to make a wireless IT from the Adam's family!
@Booksmart Devil
I'd rather wait for the matching arm!
@Booksmart Devil
That was almost exactly my first thought!
Anikan's hand
@10nisman94
And by Anakin you mean Luke?
@SeeKo No, Anikan, Episode 2
@10nisman94
Not a memorable movie. But ok. Like father like son.
@10nisman94
Where is Lord Vader when you need him...
Misspelled TWICE. You will be Force Choked, my friend.
It's A N A K I N !!
I like where this is going. when are we going to see other body "members" get bionic replacements?
@zcubed No need to be so secretive. You want robotic boobies that bounce on their own. That is after all the ultimate goal of robotics.
@OmbreDesigns
Caught me red-handed. these hands do come in red right?
Oh hello, Skynet.... I have something you might be interested in
@Spaldinggreat
ALSO. Inb4 the Justin Biebhand jokes...
does NO ONE watch Sci Fi movies? Why are we progressing to a future where we are ruled by robots. We've seen it a million times in theaters. But we know better right. We won't make the same mistakes. After all, its only a movie.............
It is cool tho.
look out Darth Vader.... your son will soon return with this!
@annoynimous. Then I'll just cut it off again. Besides, he isn't even a Jedi yet, and the fact there are no sane Jedi left in existence prohibits him from ever learning the true power of the force
Does this mean I shall finally realize my dream of having Spidey arms?
The hand should come with a built-in speaker to play that theme song whenever it's in use; it makes it seem like to most badass thing ever.
"I'll be back."
Does it come with a black leather glove a la Luke Skywalker?
As weird as it sounds, I wouldn't mind cutting my hand to my "hands" on one of these...
@MegaJapan
*to GET my "hands" on one of these >_>
from their site i take it that all you can grip is food...
Is that an overlay of the terminator OS in the video?
Did anyone else imagine a puny human being strangled by that hand in that picture?
It seems slow to open/close fingers. Wife wants to know if it can vibrate.
This is just one small step to becoming like The Borg. Next up: red laser pointers needlessly attached to artificial eyes!
Any time now...seemingly disparate companies all working on seemingly unrelated technology. But unknown to them, they're all funded by the same shadow corporation .
First the arm: http://ask.engadget.com/2006/09/14/first-woman-gets-bionic-arm/
Then the full skeleton: http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/06/sarcos-humanoid-robot-learns-how-to-take-a-shove/
Now the hand.
We already have the Koreans working on life like facial movement and the Japanese are doing the skin: http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/20/skin-it-does-a-robot-good/
The end is nigh!!!
@Tes
Oh dear Engadget...you've had all the pieces all along: http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/03/artificial-intelligence-solves-boring-science-experiments-makes/
Is Engadget the shadow corporation driving this science?!
Oh no! - http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/28/us-lawsuit-calls-large-hadron-collider-a-doomsday-machine-higgs/

All under the guise of pieces for humans: http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/australian-researchers-unveil-bionic-eye-prototype-implants-com/

Engadget...WHY!?
Tes, u crazy bro.
Skynet is pleased . . . .
somewhere, after waiting for years, darth vader is putting in an order online for a couple of these
@balwheeler Add to cart...
I would like a left one please.
I'm sure I can speak for many of us when I say that the first thing I'd program it to do is flip people off.
Snazzy, sometime they'll implement the ability to spread the fingers open and then shut, or maybe Skynet will do it itself
i wonder if it vibrates aswell?.... good times
Awaits obligatory masturbation joke
