Somebody Buy This NASA Robot Hand Complete With Space Gloves [Video]

I wish I was so rich i’ll justify buying this NASA Omni-Hand I off eBay. Not only is it the first motorized dexterous robotic hand, it even comes with space gloves. Space gloves! Yours for $18,750.

Only two prototypes of the hand were ever made and here is the best complete and functional system available. Here’s a video of it in action:

Okay, fine. Now that it’s 2010, the Omni-Hand I acts like your run-of-the-mill robotic hand but concentrate on its place in robotic history. And examine the gap gloves! The gloves are produced from a similar company who make NASA space suits and I’d chop off two of my fingers simply so I may wear the gloves. [ eBay via BornRich ]
