The monkey actually does still have his own regular arms as well - when he's not hooked up to the machine, he's more or less a regular monkey. You can tell them he can feed himself the normal way most of the time.<br/><br/>The next one is more fun, kind of a real-life transformer.<br/><br/>I'm glad your'e enjoying these, there alot of fun to hunt down. I'll have more in between them soon... I'm building up to a couple of more complete essay style posts. Yeah, the monkey thing is pretty disturbing to look at.

The next one is more fun, kind of a real-life transformer.

I’m glad your’e enjoying these, there alot of fun to hunt down. I’ll have more in between them soon… I’m building up to a couple of more complete essay style posts.

Some primal concern for the monkey and what would he do without the robot to feed him... so is distrust of our dependence on machines hard-wired? Cool research though. Think how incredibly life-changing this could be for amputees, those with MS or paralysis. <br/>Great blog - keep it up!
