The Bebionic3 is a myoelectric prosthetic hand that uses residual neuro-muscular signals from your muscles to operate a number of precise functions.

Featuring a range of 14 hand positions and grips, the Bebionic3 is also offered with a skin-tone glove that approximates the appearance of a real hand.

Guess that Terminator Arm envies the FMA Arm....

dream it believe it make it happen

From a technological perspective we should be able to do it, i personally believe someone is holding back (government) from many things. I would certainly love to see this happen, it will change many things in life. Although from a ethical perspective if something like this gets perfected, it would be above normal human capabilities, which i think is awesome ! Kind of like a mod to yourself

I like that FMA makes prosthesis look like a completely normal part of life. I've seen many more people with prosthesis over the years and the more I notice them, the more used to them I become. Most of the ones I've seen are leg replacements. I think most are a result of IEDs in Afghanistan and Iraq.. and motorcycle accidents. If you wipe out on a motorcycle, those things will land on your leg and shred it off against the concrete.

 

I think once the robot hand articulation becomes more effective, we'll see more automail style prosthesis in the future.
