This will help a lot, especially old war veterans or industrial workers who have lost arms in accidents or war.

Shame they did not implement the brain chip which allows for the controll of machines with the brain

AND also recently the first electronic device was powered by the Human ear (no joke)

So many uses, And considering 20 years ago they were using wooden limbs... What can happen in 20 years?

Very impressive.

I knew they were making progress with the mind chip sensor and while I have heard of prosthetic arms like that, it seems like they've improved the design and utility of of those arms.

really, if you are going to need something every day/forever why not customize it or make it more useful?

what else could we do with it? built in laser pointer perhaps, swiss army knife functions, and i remember a line from teen titans 'pick up, i know youre there, the phone is built in your arm'

Well for now they are focusing on making it better in the main thing we would use it for. (hand stuff) There is no need for extra gizmos untill the basics are mastered.
