Robotic Prosthetics

Prosthetic limbs have been advancing as more is looked into them, starting with simple wooden fingers
or wooden legs to highly advanced metal ones. As it progressed these prosthetics have become closer and
closer to the real meat parts they replace. The robotic arm is highly functional and can move all its
joints controlled by the user with his mind. By connecting nerves from the body to the arm he is able
to control it. With further advancements made to it plans to feel and touch can be possible. This arm shown
costs 120 million dollars as it is being experimented with its abilities and supported by the American government.

These legs are also being experimented with and trying to be advanced to be comparable with meat legs.
Legs are much more difficult to recreate as leg muscles are more complex to manufacture for a prosthetic.
Even so the legs have evolved to include more joints and allow for more functionality than just the early
straight and unbendable prosthetics used before. A curved and more bendy model can allow the user to run,
ride bikes, and move a lot easier. Prices for these legs can range from 5000 - 50000 dollars. They are also
known to experience damages that may call for a replacement to be made multiple times throughout a lifetime.

The comparison between these prosthetic limbs and the actual human ones are closer than ever before but still
the robotic ones have not yet surpassed them yet. Due to difficulties with creating fluid motion in full robotic
legs and experiments still in progress they are unable to surpass their flesh made counterparts. With more
experiments on the arms though, more functions can be added to better compare with a regular arm.
