Do you ever feel like you could use an extra hand (or 4?). Advancements in wearable robotics may make that a reality. One wearable arm-suit being developed by the University of Tokyo gives major Doc Ock vibes. The device is actually inspired by puppetry and is controlled by a mini version of the arms.

WIRED Editor Amit Katwala traveled far and wide for a hands-on look at the future of robotic artificial limbs. Watch as he puts a wearable set of arms inspired by traditional Japanese puppetry through the paces with Dr. Masahiko Inami University at the of Tokyo. Can Amit intuitively manipulate his newly added arms to pick up objects or write with a marker? Then, we visit with Dani Clode and Tamar Makin at the University of Cambridge to get a grip on the technology behind a 3D-printed sixth digit designed to give you two working thumbs one one hand. Will these robotic augmentations be the path to superhuman performance?

From the Learning System vault: Trainable Robotic Arm:
You can build one of these trainable robotic arms because Adafruit sells the crucial analog feedback servos that make this technology possible.
3D printing allows anyone to make robotic parts. We will be printing an arm and gripper for this project, but you could swap out the servos in an existing robotic arm also.
For more details on the servos, check out the About Analog Feedback Servos write up.
We’re bringing you the blinkiest, most fashionable, innovative, and useful wearables from around the web and in our own original projects featuring our wearable Arduino-compatible platform, FLORA. Be sure to post up your wearables projects in the forums or send us a link and you might be featured here on the Blog!
