Greetings!
It looks like the robotic arms available to hobbyists are total
sloths. Does anyone know if it's possible to buy a FAST robotic arm
(with human-like speed and strength), controllable from a PC?
Thanks!

Probably would have air pistons, or hydraulic for super human strength.

With enough money you can buy anything.
Suggest you look on eBay to see what's selling used. There is nothing
like this for the hobby market. You need to go industrial.
Doubt you'll get human strength withough goingf hydraulic (pneumatic not
as fast), but hopefully ou've either just won the lottery or you're Bill
Gates looking for a newe hobby.
