Modern prosthetics with high dexterity are quite pricey to say the least, 
but engineers at MIT and Shanghai Jiao Tong University hope to change 
that.  

The team has built a soft, lightweight, and potentially low-cost 
neuroprosthetic hand that enables amputees to easily perform daily 
activities, like picking up a glass, pouring a carton of juice, petting a
