The Gesture HW1 is a 10-degree-of-freedom robotic hand with a wrist, designed to be assembled, coded and hacked rather than admired behind glass. It gestures, grips objects and responds to control, with open firmware and community documentation. Funded at $123k on Kickstarter. Perfect for robotics students and hobbyists; skip it if you want a finished product that just works out of the box.
