I  think I remember John saying that he would like to see a robotic
hand doing magic tricks. Well, now he can.

Quote:
The hand has 20 independently controlled active joints, enabling more
precise and human-like finger movements through its direct-drive
design.
The robotic hand precisely manipulates the thin cards and small coin,
coordinating its independently controlled fingers to execute each
movement. The demonstrations highlight the O30’s ability to perform
delicate object handling and rapid, coordinated finger movements,
showcasing the fine motor control needed for more complex human-like
manipulation tasks.
