Like thing from the addams family, it's just a hand that lives in a box where it goes to recharge. You could program it to walk around on its fingers and speak in sign language. The control could be a cyber-glove with a radio transmitter. Strap a wrist watch cam on it and send it to explore your neighbor's
garage.

hand shaped, remote control robot? Fairly well baked. There's even a mind-controled one. |

Ted Hughes' Iron Giant puts himself together starting with a hand - brilliant story. |

The way I see it, you would only need 1 hand (in the cyber-glove) to control it, and the benefits of the hand being "remote" are numerous, Possible applications include Bomb-disposal, Nuclear Handling, Hazzardous waste, Vetenary surgary on cows, cleaning lavatories etc,etc..... |
