Bionic Arm

Last week we had exoskeletons…this week it’s bionic arms. And I think this is from the guy who invented the Segway.

It turns out that when we use the tool our brains think of it as an extention of ourselves. We learn to use that tool in much the same way that we learn to use our arms, legs and digits when we are babies. Think about how the car feels like part of you when you are driving, or the plane when you fly.

Damien June 2, 2008 at 5:43 pm: Considering they show a man early on with both a prosthetic left limb and his original I wonder: would it be possible for a soldier or worker to figure out how to operate one or two of these limbs and his biological arms at the same time in a quad configuration?
