RAPHaEL Air Powered Hand by Kyle Cothem and Dennis Hong (2009), The Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory (RoMeLa), College of Engineering, Virginia Tech, VA. The goal of this project is to accurately emulate the motion and dexterity of a human hand. The hand is powered by compressed air at 60 psi and uses novel corrugated tubing actuators. It incorporates flex sensors and force sensitive resistors for touch sensing. “RAPHaEL (Robotic-Air Powered Hand with Elastic Ligaments) is a humanoid robotic hand that utilizes corrugated tube actuation with compressed air. Unlike electromechanically actuated hands, thanks to the natural compliance, RAPHaEL can mimic the grasping capability of a human hand more accurately. By changing the pressure of the compressed air, the amount of applied force can also be controlled.”

A dart lands on the board, and two figures burst in!
“HEY EVERYPONE CAN WE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION!” Feather yells, pointing her cybernetic mode, “We’re looking for information. Otherwise you’re fine!”
“Don’t worry, we aren’t with the corpos. If you know who we are, you know we’re good for it,” Quartz scans the room with her eye!

I draw this robot hand a lot so I wanted to make a consistent and definitive decision on how it's supposed to look. My version anyway.

It is technically removable (except the surgically-attached ring at the end of his stump that anchors it), but it's a pain in the ass to take off and even harder to reattach. The hand is only removed for major maintenance or repair. If spontaneously jettisoned in an emergency (like, during a gorilla attack), it is incredibly painful for the wearer (ripping nerves and tendons) and damages the hand.
It is noticeably larger than his human hand— 20% larger. They don't make cybernetic prosthetics any smaller. There is surgical implanted wiring inside through his arm.
He woke up in a duffel bag with a year of memory loss suddenly using cybernetic hand he has no memory of getting. He had to teach himself how to operate it without any physical therapy and how to fix it without manual, but he's a genius.
The first year it was buggy and unstable. He crushed everything he picked up. The gears made awful grinding and whining noises. It shorted out electronics. It wasn't waterproof and he had to wrap it in a plastic bag to take a shower. It was really heavy. Billy continuously repaired and replaced parts (while not disturbing the central mechanism and baseOS where his memories were being stored).
There's supposed to be a life-like skin over-glove to conceal the hardware but he lost it somewhere. It was kinda "uncanny valley" and gross anyway. He just uses an oven mitt or a pair of Freaky Freezies if he wants to cover it.

I felt like drawing a battle between a spaceship and a mechanical diamond.

Jamming Gripper (2010) by iRobot, in collaboration with Chicago and Cornell Universities. This fingerless robotic gripper is basically a rubber bag filled with coffee grounds. When a granular material is loosely packed it's easily deformable and will conform to the shape of various objects when pressed into them. When the air is sucked out, the particles become tightly packed together and they jam, or lock into one another. In this rigid state it maintains a firm grip, and when reinflated the object pops out again.
“This grew out of a program to develop a new field of soft robotics that was sponsored by DARPA. It was based on the observation that humans and animals are mostly made of soft materials, but robots have usually been made of hard materials like metal, and maybe we could build robots with more of the functionality of humans if we switched to softer materials.” – Eric Brown (University of Chicago), interviewed by Erico Guizzo.
