Monkey controlled robotic arm!



I'm all against animal cruelty and such, but sometimes, these experiments can bring forward something that would benefit millions of people. I think that one such case is this. This monkey has a microchip implanted in its brain, and linked up to a robotic arm. The amazing thing is that the monkey can control the arm like an extension of its body, with incredible precision, and without any visible effort!

I read about this in an article like 3-4 years ago, opens the door to all sorts of neat innovations. Every thing from robots to work in dangerous mines, environments, limb replacements, as well as "mech" warriors in the near future...
