YouBionic adds creepy hands to SpotMini, the creepy robot dog

If you've ever wanted to add creepy, 3D-printed hands to your creepy robot dog, YouBionic has you covered. This odd company is offering an entirely 3D-printed arm solution for the Boston Dynamics SpotMini, the doglike robot that already has an arm of its own. YouBionic is selling the $179 3D models for the product that you can print and assemble yourself.

This solution is very skimpy on the details but as you can see it essentially turns the SpotMini into a robotic centaur, regal and majestic as those mythical creatures are. There isn't much description of how the system will work in practice - the STLs include the structural parts but not the electronics. That said, it's a fascinating concept and could mean the beginning of a truly component-based robotics solution.
