Why give your robot hands when it can have tentacles instead?

We are gonna get technological advances due to porn again aren't we?

Is it waterproof? Asking for a friend

I think I messed up

Are those printed? In my soft robotics course we 3d printed the molds and silicone molded arms like that

Yes, directly printed with Flexible 80A

Well, i can only assume this end up being in someone's butt, if it goes into production please give a flared base option, thanks from an ER nurses spouse.

Tentacles are cool and versatile but surely humans, the conquerors of the world and the creators of all technology, have hands for a reason.

everyone else is thinking of pervy stuff, and i love the vibe but doc oc is actually the first thing to come to mind for me

This looks kinda freaky bro

I'm gonna give it a knife

OMG, man, you get it!!! So rare... Here's a secret. Tentacles can curl into omniwheels, have electromagnets, change volume, exchange momentum, stretch thin material, jet, precisely control backlash, going from micron-distance stopping to whipping, so so our future in space.

I can think of a few reasons

Actually studied this. High level takeaway: tentacles are great for pulling (think octopus pulling food towards its mouth), while human fingers with rigid backbones are for pushing (us grabbing things is still fingers pushing onto that thing

......i appear to have invented a knife-wielding tentacle.

Good Job Doctor Octopus 🔥😂 This tentacle arm is next-level soft robotics. it looks good for wraping gently around fragile stuff like glass or irregular shapes where normally rigid hands would crush it or push it further away. Considering that Pulling > pushing in messy environments. This is awesome 👍💯

Was expecting this to be someone from Japan 🤪

Can I perhaps attach a knife to the end of the tentacle? That way, I can set it by my window and just have it kill anybody who dares to enter without my permission.

Why would you want a robot tickling your ass?

I wanna be the glass of water

"I seem to have created a knife-wielding tentacle"

Cos play idea

I have some ideas.

Made concepts for a robotics engineer wanting to build this mechanism back in the year 2000. In the year 2 thousaaaaand. Sure took a hot minute. Kudos, fun to finally see irl. Not Skyworker up top, bottom left. Explored various grip types, like the cylinder grasp in the demo.

stickin this in my butt 👆

Okay but

i like everything i'm seeing here...

@JobiPrivkos yo look

Uf don’t give this to the Japanese 😂

@NataliaJvnl @bizerraaaa não foi só eu que pensei... n e?
