We have seen many cool prosthetic legs and arms in the past. A Swedish amputee has become the first person in the world to get a prosthetic arm that interfaces with his bones, muscles, and nerves and can be controlled using his brain. The artificial arm is attached to the skeleton to provide a more stable experience. Neuromuscular electrodes are used to create a union between the body and the system.

Solutions like this can make life a whole lot easier for many folks. The developers are planning to work on developing feeling for prosthetic arms like this. As CNET has reported, the research team is already working on this. Now that’s exciting.
