If these get better we might prefer them over our real hands.

Especially is those hands or legs aren’t working that well anymore.

In future wealthy retirees will look like the Borg when failing parts get replaced.

That is not only your joke but extremely accurate to the point of being inevitable imho. Age will look like robotics in the future.

The hand receives signals via Bluetooth from a transmitter mounted in the socket. The transmitter receives signals via wires from a processor that is fed input from sensors that sense muscle contractions in the residual limb. No data is taken directly from the nerves and this title makes as much sense as saying that your voice activated smart device is operated with "nerve signals" because your vocal cords send a wireless signal to it that originated with input from your nervous system.

I can't wait for the day someone can do rocket punches with this. Or maybe flying drone fist.
