"How many times have you been doing something, like lifting a heavy or
bulky object, and said, “I wish I had an extra set of arms?” Well, now,
your wish has come true. A group of researchers from MIT have created
that second set of arms — robotic arms — that you’ve been looking for.
All you have to do is strap the robotic arm system on like a backpack
and let them help you when your measly human arms just aren’t up to the
task alone."

Extra robot limbs are cool!

Share and enjoy,
