Kyoto-based robot and factory automation manufacturer Squse unveiled what it called the world's first prototype of an artificial hand with "air muscles"
The 400-gram hand with five human-sized fingers with artificial fibers that can be controlled by air pressure can do even delicate work like picking up a raw egg.
