Augmenting the body with artificial limbs controlled concurrently to one's natural limbs has
long appeared in science fiction, but recent technological and neuroscientific advances …

The emergence of robotic body augmentation provides exciting innovations that will
revolutionize the fields of robotics, human–machine interaction and wearable electronics …

Humans have long been fascinated by the opportunities afforded through augmentation.
This vision not only depends on technological innovations but also critically relies on our …

Supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) are wearable robots designed to enhance the
sensorimotor abilities of humans. SRLs can be used to compensate for lost functions in …

Over the last decade, new types of massive and complex chromosomal rearrangements
based on the chaotic shattering and restructuring of chromosomes have been identified in …

Soft robotics shows considerable promise for various underwater applications. Soft grippers
as end-effectors are particularly useful for compliant and robust grasping compared to rigid …

Objective. Effective human motor augmentation should rely on biological signals that can be
volitionally modulated without compromising natural motor control. Approach. We provided …

Electrophysiological studies in monkeys show that finger amputation triggers local
remapping within the deprived primary somatosensory cortex (S1). Human neuroimaging …

It is likely that when using an artificially augmented hand with six fingers, the natural five plus
a robotic one, corticospinal motor synergies controlling grasping actions might be different …

Contemporary robotics gives us mechatronic capabilities for augmenting human bodies with
extra limbs. However, how our motor control capabilities pose limits on such augmentation is …
