$600 Hands For Hobby Robots

As if hobby robots don’t already have enough expensive bits, Craft House in Japan has just released a new $600 add-on for humanoids: these delicately beautiful five fingered hands:

Called “Melissa” hands, the hands are each controlled by a single servo and can easily grasp small objects. They’re not really cut out for fighting, and as BRN points out, “it is necessary to attach protector such a glove when robot fights with the hands.” Robot boxing, anyone?
