So it's "neurally controlled"? The articulation and physical flexibility is remarkable by any robotic standard, but the neural control is outrageous.
I wish I could find an article that goes more in-depth about how that works, I don't see Kamen wearing any sort of brainwave-receptor crap, and it can't be from the movement of the "stub" because Kamen has no amputation and he can still manipulate it.
Now we just need a Wing Gundam, it was "neurally controlled".

"Sorry, videos are currently not available in your country".
GRRRRR.
I assume they have the technology to attach neuro-controlled machinery/weapons to amputees?

I too want to know how this is controlled. that guy eating blew my mind. I'm glad this will help amputies who suffer daily from the mental anguish of not being able to do daily things such as feeding themselves. I can't even imagine how it would be losing a limb. it would be such a loss.

new owners should probably should practice with a cucumber first, might rip their dick off. lol
jokes aside that shit is nuts, definitely some amazing times we are in. the thought of how many people this would benefit, pure awesomeness.

Actually, it was Wing Zero and Epyon that had the "Zero" system.
