Engineering360: "Video: Gecko-inspired FarmHand can grip grapes, tomatoes"

On thinking back, I have seen this before. I'm sure of it. I think the machine was known as a human, and they had four fingers and an opposable thumb and they had two of these things known as hands.

They ran on very little fuel, low maintenance, not fast, but steady. I'm not sure there are any around anymore but I know they were used for grape picking, fruit picking, egg peeling and a few other odds and sods works. They were pretty handy at times. I think every robot should own a few of them.
