This is one of the coolest damn things I’ve seen in a while, she’s a true cyborg!

I think the coolest thing is that she has a limited sense of touch.

There’s always lots of jokes about what a shame it is we don’t have the flying cars people dreamed about in the past but if you ask me things like this not being more ubiquitous is the real shame! This is incredible and I hope we see more in this space soon.

Totally agree, this makes a lot more difference than all the stuff they predicted in to 40s and 50s.

This one is also pretty cool, couple of years ago. It was the first time I heard they had incorporated touch, but looks awesome.
