Yea, this was here yesterday.
That being the case, it's still a really interesting piece of tech.

I was just thinking about the Segway a few hours ago. Who would look at that and think "Yeah! This is going to totally revolutionize the WORLD!"

In my addled head, I first read it as 'Video of Ikea's robotic arm.'
And I imagined the commercial along the lines 'Do you feel sad for the old arm? Well don't. The new Maimo arm is much better.'

Why do I need to be an amputee to benefit from this SCIENCE?
Why can't I just have a third bionic arm attached?
