Mind controlled prosthetics
So you know the research into prosthetic limbs that you control with your mind? Well it just occurred to me that I might like to have an extra pair of hands available all the time. Imagine that, a wearable prosthetic exoskeleton that provided extra mind-controlled limbs. It would be cool to be able to control my 2 normal hands, plus 2 extra robot hands, all with my mind. And if I thought of this, you bet your ass some roboticist with access to this equipment in the lab has thought about it (or did so 20 minutes ago for the first time when I did lol)
