Another standout at this week’s International Robot Exhibition 2009 in Tokyo is the Shadow Dextrous Hand along with the CyberGlove. The robotic hand can be operated remotely by a human wearing the sensor glove to perform actions as delicate as cradling an egg, changing a light bulb or writing with a pen.

Developed by the UK-based Shadow Robot Company, the hand is capable of up to 24 distinct movements that mirror that of a real human hand.  You can see video of the Shadow Dextrous Hand in action here.
