Most hand related jobs upwards of $100 per 30 min
If this Robot hand can do those jobs we could see some industries take a hit

Industrial needs care not about weight, care less about cost, and care a great deal about capability, repeatability, and reliability.
This is a cool project for a hobbyist but it's not meant to be a serious industrial machine.
Edit: what is with this thread? Lots of very generic positive comments here but not much thinking about what this is actually useful for.
What you're missing is: today, we're nearing the point where actual general purpose robots become viable.
Which means: the purpose of a robot is no longer to sit at a factory line and precisely execute the same exact motions on repeat 24/7. The purpose of the next generation of robots is to learn generalized behaviors, adapt to circumstances, and carry out circumstance-specific actions with active sensor feedback. Which means completely different requirements for effectors.
Which means: repeatability can go get fucked, for one.
Humanoid robotics research was pretty popular in the early 2000s already, with remarkable, reproducible results not only in videos. It’s definitively more present in the media now.
We've been in a continuous AI breakthrough since 2022. In 2000, this kind of thing was nonexistent.
How can you say that when the person you are responding to is talking about what this is actually useful for?
That is why I'm self employed.
