A robotic arm for "handshakes" virtual: the most useless invention of the decade?

Have you ever felt the lack of a virtual limb to shake when you talk to someone you know in electronic form on Skype, Live Messenger or Facebook? Personally, no.

Tell a different group of researchers at Osaka University, who having nothing better to design have seen fit to create a prototype of a robotic arm capable of restoring the feel of an ordinary handshake as a friendly force, the temperature and touch.

The temperature of the skin of the hand is about 32 ° C, say Japanese researchers, who preferred, however, set his hand to a temperature of 37 ° to make the close more warm and friendly (and totally unrealistic). The morbidity of the touch is guaranteed by a layer of sponge rubber and, while the heat is provided by a film heated. If you want to see a video showing this abomination of technology, followed the article after the break. Or maybe not.
