robotic grip

I kind of forced myself to watch that in case there was anything in it that my son might be interested in. And now I feel kind of dumb and all I can think of to say is 'Wow!'

I wonder what else that effect could be useful for? Maybe something that needs to mould itself to a certain shape, like the padding for something delicate you want to transport somewhere. Or, er, my brain's on strike...

Any other ideas, anyone?

can't see video.

Is this the vacuum grip? Dry coffee grounds and vacuum ?

Prime example of why it pays to keep an open mind.

That is a very simple concept, the loose vs. hard packed coffee, that we all probably know about but never thought of an application for. Very cool.
