will wonders never cease? just last year some new braces were unveiled to help older people or peopl with leg problems to move on their own and now we can get robotic limbs assist those who need it as well.
if we keep this up eventually we will be able to develop organs and limps for the needy and they wont have to take a billion antirejection pills just to live. =)

She commanded a robot arm with her thoughts alone? Heck, my wife has been doing that to me for years.

Answer: Last year. It took the scientists that long to get their research paper published.

This is certainly a much better application than the brainwave-operated "nekomimi" cat ears that were on here a month or so ago.
One question: did this event happen last MONTH, or 13 months ago? If it was over a year ago, it took an awfully long time for the "news" to get out.

How refreshing to read such extraordinary news! A little too late for two of my friends but how wonderful for all the other sufferers!

In the future , we may be able to "command " enemy's soldiers just surrender and go to our side. Great !

So now we won't need security guards any more. We can all have personal robots and use them (via thinking) to kick ass for us.

This is exactly what my brother needs who has been suffering with ALS (Lou Gehring) in the past 15 years, so we can communicate. His mind very sharp (scientist) while his has been trapped inside his own body. Great invention!

The blind will see, limbs will be regenerated, etc. Amazing stuff. Hope the breakthroughs never end.
