  • DARPA..... getting Metal Gear Solid flashbacks heh

    This is amazing.

  • Can I lose my arm just so I can get this XD

  • I'd like such an arm. I'd like it very strong, so I could choke someone darth vader style, but i don't like to lose an arm first ;D

  • looks like it will cost an arm and a leg... :D

  • im not trying to sound like a dick but dean does kind of look like David sarif.

  • more like a terminator arm

  • @MisterZimbabwe i doubt it, with these arms they attach it to your existing nervous system, when they move their arms they imagine that they still have their hands by moving it with their minds. watch this video they explain it more "Man Controls Robotic Hand with Mind".
