With the current significant investments and attention to consumer humanoid robotics this sounds like a very big deal. The difficulty of making dexterous hands could greatly benefit from powerful, compact 'actuators'.

This is exciting. Reminds me of the "myomer" technology used in the Battletech universe that allowed for the creation of battlemechs. The future is now!!
