A 16-year-old student from the UK has designed and built a four-fingered robotic hand using standard LEGO parts that mimics the human-like adaptable grasp of advanced research models.

Jared Lepora, a student at Bristol Grammar School, developed the “Educational SoftHand-A”. The project is described in a paper published on the arXiv preprint server, reports Phys.org. The device is made entirely from LEGO MINDSTORMS components, with the only non-LEGO parts being the cords that act as tendons.
