Real-life Cyborgs: Japanese Engineers Create AI Robotic Arms for Humans

Japanese robotics company Jizai has developed a robotic limb contraption called "Arms" that can give the wearer extra sets of arms, similar to Marvel's Doctor Octopus. The system was designed to enable social interaction between multiple wearers and explore possible interactions between digital cyborgs in a cyborg society. Inspired by a 1963 short story, the team found that their bodies could precisely sense the attachment/detachment of arms, and they especially felt a strong impact when detaching or reducing the number of robotic arms worn.
