I was one of the main firmware developers on the arm. It actually has two batteries that last several hours under reasonably heavy use and has strength comparable to a real human arm. For anyone interested, the degrees of freedom are shoulder, humeral rotation, elbow, wrist rotation, wrist flexion, unified finger grasp, and thumb position. I'm not sure where they got the "8 degrees of freedom" from. It's actually only 7.
