That does NOT look like a mechanical assembly that will be cheap to produce, be easy to disinfect, or be mechanically stable for repeated uses. That being said, and being no expert on the state of miniature robotic effectors, I'm glad to see them trying to produce intellectual property.

Interesting is that some of the cable/pulley tracts are called out to be conductive, thereby allowing for downstream current (as in Bovie or auxiliary powered devices), and hopefully for further future sensors and possibly digital control/feedback for devices/haptics. In any case, again, a hell of a complicated part to mass produce, that articulated arm is, for function beyond that of a simple grasper or scissors. IMO
