This robotic arm has been developed with four fingers and a three-jointed hand to identify and catch flying objects in mid air. Catching flying objects is uniquely identified as something very human, so its pretty amazing to get a robot to do this. It takes very fine tuned adjustments to accomplish this, and this guy can do it in 5/100th of a second. It is being already used in the Space Junk cleanup program.
