When disaster strikes and danger looms, the heroes that burst onto the scene to save the day might not even be human.
Gust MEES's insight:
One differentiator that's always separated humans from robots is our ability to touch and feel, but advances in haptic technology are rapidly closing the mechanical gap.

A new study in Nature reports that two people with tetraplegia were able to reach for and grasp objects in three-dimensional space using robotic arms that they controlled directly with brain activity.
They used the BrainGate neural interface system, an investigational device currently being studied under an Investigational Device Exemption. One participant used the system to serve herself coffee for the first time since becoming paralyzed nearly 15 years ago.
