The researchers acknowledge that their robot arm lacks strength but suggest it does not need strength because they envision it, or a similar design, being using in applications that require more finesse than strength.


More, yes, but this doesn’t look like it is even close to supporting its own weight towards the end. The ‘strength’ here isn’t minor, it is trivial.

It’s....it’s... it’s a slinky

“Mechanical engineer Richard James invented the Slinky by accident. In 1943, he was working to devise springs that could keep sensitive ship equipment steady at sea. After accidentally knocking some samples off a shelf, he watched in amazement as they gracefully “walked” down instead of falling.”
