Robot Hand Looks Extremely Real

Source: The robotic hand features movable polycarbonate “bones,” covered with a too-real skin of fleshtone silicon rubber. Underneath its fleshy exterior each hand is powered by 22 actuators with 16 joints.

Uncanny valley? That hand looks like its safely crossed the uncanny valley.


Uncanny valley is different from person to person, the source placed it in the valley. I feel the same way you do about it.

I placed the tag exactly for this kind of discussion :-)

I should've added that I didn't think the sushi in the video made it safely through the uncanny valley. I wonder if by their juxtaposition, this helps make the hand seem more natural.

This is great! Now apply this to prosthetics and a lot of people would be happy.
