It has begun and has found root in the medical industry. This reminded me of Dr. Octatvious from spiderman. Read the article here:

Can you think of uses outside of the medical arena? There are many so name the ones you think will be of great significance.

This one could have several applications. Imagine under-sea or deep-space operations where we'll be able to control the robotic arms as if they're the extensions of our body. I think we're still few years away from the precision of human hand.

Makes me wonder, how did nature evolve such a superior design (human body) that's taking modern science years to 'copy' 😉

I pondered the same thing just recently. Mimicking the human brain, sensory and nervous system is a mamoth undertaking.
I think only the greatest scientist and engineer of all could perfect it - God
Cloning on the other hand seems like the easier way of copying the Master's work.

I came here to post a video and found this thread.
A trial funded in part by NIH is evaluating an investigational device called the BrainGate neural interface system. This is a type of brain-computer interface (BCI) intended to put robotics and other assistive technology under the brain's control. By imagining the movement of their own arms, two paralyzed individuals were able to use the BrainGate to make complex reach-and-grasp movements with robotic arms.

See how a paralyzed woman drinks coffee with the help of a robotic arm here:

Hehe same story #-Link-Snipped-# tanks for the video 😉
I think we have past the age of technology and entered the age of sci-fi 😁
But seriously science and technology is developing at an alarming rate.
