NASA Robot Hand

NASA Robot Hand with Space Glove off "Omni-Hand"

This impressive early prototype is the first motorized dexterous robot hand. Designed and built in the early 1990s by Mark Rosheim. Only two were ever made. One of its unique features is the space suit glove custom fitted for this robot. This video features the Omni-Hand without the glove (see our other YOUTUBE video with the space suit glove on). This working robot is currently available for purchase on eBay by Seller "MechanicalWonderland"
