Clone, a company developing androids with anthropomorphic hands, shared the latest breakthrough with its robotic hand, which can repeat human motions with impressive precision and even mimic small gestures.

"After 8 years of R&D, Clone has developed a musculoskeletal robotic hand based on human anatomy. The Clone Hand is actuated with our proprietary hydraulic muscles and proportional force valves, more than 10x stronger than existing alternatives."

The new video shows the hand catching a ball using Manus's finger-tracking glove. It follows the developer's movement really well, although the tiniest twitches are too much for it now, based on the showcase. Still, this is impressive progress, as you can see from older footage, where the hand demonstrated its grabbing abilities aided by a VR helmet.
Such synthetic hand could be extremely useful in different industries, from medicine and education to factory work. Perhaps a partnership with Boston Dynamics could accelerate the research.
