District 9 Come Alive – The Tentacle [what we really want / Sci Fi]

WOW! Smooth adaptive grip, cylindrical and with a maximal grip surface, definitely controllable with a very strong spring and a lever that allows voluntary opening by cable. I want one of these and I want one now. District 9 showed us how the *bionic* version (remember what bionic all contains? don’t confuse it with relabelled electronics) looks like, but this FERO Gripper has it all.
