'Octopus Professor' appears in real life

Life will be easier when we have more hands.

In our lives, sometimes the arms are not enough to do some work. That's why we often say, 'Give me a hand.' As simple as trying to open a door while eating a tray, sometimes we just wish to have one more arm to handle these situations.

MetaLimbs technology gives you two more robotic arms and can control them with your feet.

That's also why a team of researchers at Inami Hiyama Labs created MetaLimbs . This is a technology that will give you 2 more robot arms and can control them with your feet. An odd idea, but it's more practical and easy to do than manipulating the robot arm with thought.

A receiver system will be attached to the foot and knee of the user. As a result, they can control the joints of the hands, elbows of the robot arm. The sensors are also attached to the toes, to control the fingers of the robot arm.

You can control these two robots while sitting, standing, but will not be able to control them when you are moving. This is just the first step in the MetaLimbs project and researchers are continuing to find ways to control these two robots in a more simple and effective way.

Mind control can be one of the options. If we succeed, we will have the 'Octopus Professor' . A lot of work will be solved quickly and easily when we have another pair of hands.
