Honestly, building a prosthetic hand is the easy part, people have been doing that for ages. Making something like this, at a fraction of the price of conventional prosthetic hands, is what makes this guy's work truly special.
Joel Gibbard, a robotics graduate from Plymouth University, has designed a prosthetic hand that can be produced in 40 hours; and with a price tag of less than £1,000, it is seen as an affordable alternative to more advanced robotic prosthetics, which can cost between £30,000 and £60,000.
