It’s just normally expensive, not really really expensive. You can get a robot arm for as cheap as 4k (comparable to 2 MacBooks or 1 GPU)

"...as cheap as..." doesn't really fit with an item that costs almost the 2020 median salary in the US.

How are you gonna use a robot hand if you don’t know how to program?
