So an article came out about a robotic arm with human-like dexterity that's intended for use in bomb squads. Give them a couple years to think about sticking them on a human.

Watch it be some guy on a bomb squad as well: "There you go, now you can go back in and disarm other explosives!" "F*** THAT! I was lucky to only lose an arm last time!" "Looks like someone didn't read the user agreement for the software that makes the arm work." "Oh, that's just... SICK!"

There are already cyberarms duplicating human arm, along with tactile and force feedback. The problem, as with all the other modern technology, is finding a reliable power source that'd last long enough to allow for real mobility of the implantee.

I've seen the other arms, but they don't have near-full ROM as this one does.
