"At the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) last
month, researchers from MIT presented a paper on “Independent, Voluntary
Control of Extra Robotic Limbs,” which seeks to develop a control system for an
extra pair of robotic waist-appendages that’s easy and comfortable to use and
doesn’t interfere with control of your real arms and legs."

Stelarc was an early pioneer in this field.  Specifically, his performance
