Yeah, that is very interesting about it. Also interesting is that it is an endoskeleton with a soft outer hull that is more similar to flesh than the hard rubber cover that you sometimes seen on "traditional" robotic grippers.
One could describe this device as replacing eye-muscle and (position, pressure) sensor-muscle feedback with cleverly engineered mechanical compliance. So much for solved problems in motion planning...
