summary

Survey of body-transforming tech classifies four approaches—extensions of the skeleton, supernumerary robots, internal actuation via electrical muscle stimulation, and sensory-motor retargeting—and gives concrete results: monkey rake studies show tool areas expand in minutes, VR avatar experiments demonstrate rapid adaptation including remapped limbs, a monkey controlling a robotic gripper via implanted electrodes reaches 61% success rate in two days, and rubber-hand variants produce third-arm ownership. Practical work covers a shoulder-mounted extra arm, seven-finger hands, targeted muscle reinnervation and osseointegration with chronic tactile feedback; key challenges are synergy, modularity, reconfigurability, and bandwidth for control.
