hmmm...dexterity with 5 very mobile and responsive fingers attached to a human vs... a monkey pinching a claw...the complexity of the human arm with fingers and its successful attachment to a human is what is being celebrated, the breakthrough is in the arm, not the ability to move it with the mind which is really all that monkey vid displayed.

That arm looks so archaic and simple. These guys should just leave the robots to the japanese or hire one at least... Code: Select all

Yeah pretty cool but what the fuck is up with the title of the topic? Doesn't make any sense... What's automail? I thought it was a topic about a program that sends spam e-mails automatically.
