Fast Company reports that ETH Zurich's Soft Robotics Lab has developed a robotic hand inspired by Thing, the disembodied hand character from 'The Addams Family'. The project uses soft robotics to build a more flexible, lifelike gripper, and is being discussed as an example of how playful pop-culture references can drive serious innovation in robotic design.
Why now: The unusual pop-culture inspiration behind a genuine soft robotics breakthrough is drawing attention
