This is an astounding breakthrough in robotics! The BioflexBot proves that robotic arms do not have to replicate the complex structure of human hands in order to be very efficient.

What’s more interesting is the robot's ability to stretch out, hold and manipulate various objects as well as perform intricate movements with a simple mechanic. I think that the coolest feature is its possible use in industry inspections and laboratory practices where it is important to access hard-to-reach places and handle fragile items.

It will be very exciting to see how far this prototype can go once it becomes full-functional.
