Saw this a few days ago and nearly fell off my chair. I've seen robotic prosthetic arms before but they looked like something from 70's sci-fi movies. This thing is so incredible that if I were to lose my lower arm I would likely feel as much excited as I would bummed out.

A unit cost is $25000 to $35000 depending on hardware/software package.

Deus Ex. I bet they are working on military prototypes that can bust through walls and shoot mini rockets.

Yea that's awesome it's amazing how far prosthetics have come.

Definitely a similarity.

When you desire to replace your healthy arm with a prosthetic arm, then you have become a cyberpunk.

i think i'd rather have my real arm

Give it another ten years of bionic development and you will want an artificial arm.

I'm waiting for biotech development to figure out how to give me tentacles.

I think it'd be much cooler to receive an arm from a donor, along with the memories implanted in the cells of the donor's arm.



In all seriousness, this is a very cool advancement in prosthetics.
