Damn those movements are so fluid. In another 10 years I may be tempted to lop off my arms just to get a robotic arm :allears:
I actually can't wait to see this attached to someone.
I fucking love DARPA.
They make the coolest shit.
thats amazing

The agency contracts out to the places that make the coolest shit.
Got a nuclear fusion reactor in your garage? DARPA just finds out and wants to use it to help blow shit up.
The next step in skynet.
I automatically thought Metal Gear Solid when I saw Darpa.
Very neat concept, Shall be even better in only a matter of years :)
Fucking amazing
Now just make it a giant claw, and I'll buy it.
Great, more technology that greedy men will keep for themselves, or until they sell it for 100 times it's actually worth.
oh man, just think of all the cool shit you could do when we master prosthesis
Now is the time that i think about how much i actually uses my arm.
More than i think!
Am I the only one thinking of automated masturbation?

Somewhat late but I automatically heard David Hayter in my head saying "The Darpa chief?"
Oh sweet memories. :allears:
imagine having your arms cut off and people did not realise it?
you'll be like "Hey look at my hand" -hand does a 360-
Oh shit, I just realized, they're creating limbs for Cyborg Ninja/Gray Fox! :byodood:
It should have full movement. Not just the ones of normal humans.
does it come with and optional grappling hook?
if so i'll take two!

Do you even know how powerful those things are?
Much better to focus on using them for a source of power.

We're talking about an energy source so powerful, a nuclear bomb is used as the blasting cap for the actual explosive.
I wonder if you could crush someones arm?

right right fusion...
i always get hazy on the use of fusion as an explosive force
[editline]16th February 2011[/editline]
mostly because when referred to as an energy source you're always told that it's "safe" and "clean"
which it is but that won't stop people from using it to blow other people (or planets) up...

:irony:
How strong is that thing?
It would also be cool if you could just take the hand-part off and place different kinds of things on it, like a claw. Or a chainsaw.
