Supernumerary Robotic Limbs

I think four extra arms would be better, with some sort of onboard AI to co-ordinate their movements. You'd need some sort of inhibitor chip to stop the AI in the arms taking over the mind of the wearer though.

But will they be good enough to let me play T. C. Vilabier's 26th String-Specific Sonata For An Instrument Yet To Be Invented?

This is cool, but at the same time the discussed applications are so <i>boring</i>. The most obvious and exciting application (to me, anyway) would be to use the extra limbs as wings. i.e. an exoskeleton wingsuit.

I wonder how hard it would be for a human brain to adapt to controlling 2 extra limbs? This kind of tech coupled with something like Neuralink seems like an excellent field of study.

Only a few more pairs until the world’s best Doctor Octopus cosplay becomes possible.

Finally, the party problem solved: one arm for holding your drink, one arm for holding a plate, and one or two arms to put some food from the plate into your mouth.

Oh, I want to be first in line to become the first official General Grievous

First thing I thought of was “wow that would make boxing matches way more interesting.”

Uncanny valley vibes

Tail anyone? :D

Ha, I&#x27;ve always been saying I&#x27;d like to have 4 arms like Goro from Mortal Kombat.<p>I guess some people actually working in this field had similar ideas :D<p>Though tbh having those arms on an independent robot would be much more versatile.<p>Alternatively, they need to have their own support (so basically, an exoskeleton) because the human body is not up to the task of supporting all the extra weight.
