Robotic Limb for Human Augmentation Already in Development: Report

Summary

A few of the points made by Caleb White writing in The Science Times:

• The robotic limb can be an augmentation to improve an individual's capability.
• Robotic limbs are currently being developed, but most are operated via a joystick or other hand controls, with only a few mind-controlled prostheses available.
• The technology allows users to work with up to four lightweight wearable robotic arms.
• Human augmentation refers to technologies that enhance a human's productivity or capacity and becomes a persistent and intuitive part of one's identity.
