Default New robotic hand can actually "feel"

A team of scientists from Italy and Sweden has developed what is believed to be the first artificial hand that has feeling. It has been attached to the arm of a 22-year-old man who lost his own hand through cancer. Researchers say it works by connecting human nerve endings with electronic sensors.
The hand got 40 sensors and is directly control by the brain. The video of that robotic hand can be watched on youtube.
