If it really does work as well as shown it'll probably start a small revolution.

This hand does not react as instantaneously as one would want to. It kind of works, but far from perfect. I couple of guys here in Japan I knew used to do pattern recognition of signals extracted from electrodes on subject arms, and could do a reasonable job. That was 20 years ago. It does not look there was much progress since.
If better performance is needed one needs to connect directly into the brain.
This tends to work well in the first half year or so, but then performance gradually degrades because of tissue growth around the electrodes implanted in the brain.

I didn't mean to imply that I thought this is anything like a 100% solution, but my understanding is that it will be very cheap (I think that is pointed out in the video) which would make it widely available to people who need it. Slow response may be an issue, but if they can hold and move things in ways they would otherwise be unable to do, at low cost, and with a prosthetic that is easily adaptable and replaceable, I think it's a very good thing.

This particular 3-D printing (in the link) is much faster and yields stronger products. It could well be used for final production, especially for this type of robot hands, which tend to require a bit of personalization to the wearer.
