True, unlike the tentacles of Dr. Octopus, these hands not controlled by the thoughts of the owner and not by artificial intelligence, and the remote operator wearing a special virtual helmet reality. A camera peeps out from behind your shoulder allowing the operator to see what both of you are doing.
Although this is just an early prototype robotic hands, and the technology will have to be further developed for a long time, Saraiji is convinced that she has significant potential. For example, extra hands allow professional mechanics to repair equipment, located thousands of kilometers from it. And in the field educational device can be an invaluable training tool. And this is only a fraction of what will be capable of this invention in the future. At least so Yamen Saraiji himself and his work colleagues …
