Presenting, the shadow robot hand, it can pick up small coins from the floor and hold a tomato gently. It is achieved by using a compressed air in 36 of its 'muscles'. Its air reservoir is refilled by a foot pump. The robots limitation depends on the programmer who codes under GPL.The shadow robot hand is capable of 24 movements with integrated sensing and position control. It targets mainly the media, advertising, and public relations industries
