Researchers have created a robotic disembodied hand that can walk on its fingers, drawing comparisons to Thing, the crawling hand from 'The Addams Family'. The contraption scuttles across surfaces using its digits like tiny legs. Reactions online mix amusement and unease, with many calling the device both impressive and unsettling, and jokingly begging researchers to have mercy on the squeamish.
Why now: The eerie resemblance to the beloved Addams Family character Thing makes the quirky robotics work instantly shareable.
