When we're doing something like shaking your hand the fingers are taking the shape of your hand so that it's conforming to that object very much like a natural hand would to. And that keeps it from really, really squeezing very hard. - Aadeel Akhtar
Army Sergeant Garrett Anderson. He lost his hand in Iraq in 2005 to a roadside bomb. He told us that he could actually feel his daughter's hand with the touch sensing that was in here. And he couldn't do that with any other prosthetic hand because he was worried about, like crushing their hands. - Aadeel Akhtar
