    Scientists from the University of Tokyo have developed a
    set of robotic arms that can be attached to a user's back.
    These arms mimic the appearance of Otto Octavius (also known
    as Doctor Octopus), a fictional character and one of Spider-Man's
    most enduring enemies, who wields mechanical, tentacle-like
    appendages.

    Called "Jizai Arms," the wearable backpack can power up to six
    detachable robot arms and moves with the user's body.

    . . .

    VERY weird lesbo-erotic video of the rigs being used ...

    There are still two bits missing - finer control and
    a better power supply. Recent work on interpreting
    brain-waves can likely fix the first issue pretty soon.
    Meanwhile, how MANY Chinese batteries do you want to
    strap to your back ? :-)

    I once saw a demo of that Japanese robot dog and it was pretty cool.
    Welcome to the future :)

    'Albo' and derivatives ?

    The Boston Dynamics "dogs" are more useful, and already
    in the field. The company also has a large near-gymnastic
    humanoid bot called 'Atlas'. Just needs a good AI brain ...

    Anyhow, the multi-arm rig CAN be of considerable practical
    use once they improve the fine control. Humans can 're-map'
    bits of the brain to incorporate external devices - you can
    even play sensory info on the skin of the back and, after
    awhile, the brain will start feeling it as extra arms/hands.
    There may be some drugs now that make that happen sooner,
    'plasticity enhancers'.

    As for "Albo" - he doesn't really love you ... but e-motions
    can be made for AI's. I think there's a 5-dimensional e-space
    model I saw that even allowed for weird stuff like love+hate.
