This is a cool robotic arm I recently stumbled upon, figured you guys would find interesting… I’m surprised it hasn’t become more known yet with all of it’s capabilities and things it can do for people. The robotic arm is called Jaco from a company called Kinova USA. They also have something for folks in wheelchairs called Wijits, which is more for assisting and isn’t actually robotics but still very neat.
I found them through this video about a quadriplegic, really awesome! Great story:

This is the development version of the arm.
