replacement limbs typically mimic the form of the human body, but this prosthetic arm by designer kaylene kau takes a different approach. instead of modeling her arm design after a human arm, kau developed a single piece prosthetic with a flexible tip. this arm is able to grip objects by wrapping itself around them. the design is meant to compliment the user’s existing arm and not a full replacement for the missing arm. a motor inside the design drives two cables that the wearer controls with switches on the upper portion.

Ironically, those with a superstitious fear of change through biotec are helping to drive us toward a more mineral based (mechanical) being.
The reason why artificial limbs imitate natural ones is simply because nature has the best designs.
Why do all kinds of b.s.designers always come up with ideas to do better than nature?
Using their good arm to operate their new tentacle? Does anyone else not see a problem with how this new arm works, aesthetics and personal preferences aside.
There’s one very basic function of a prosthetic arm – to let the disabled person live and look just like any other person. Nobody wants to look like an octopus hybrid…
THIS WILL BE AN AID TO HUMAN LIFE.GOD BLESS THE DESIGNER & HOPE TO HER WORKING ON SUCH PROJECTS USEFUL FOR NOT ONLY HUMAN BEING BUT ALSO OTHER LIVING BODIES.
Will you be so happy to see it in real life when somebody approaches you, holds and shakes your hand with this tentacle? I don’t know, I think you people gone crazy.
should be an additional arm not a replacement! it freaks me out! The proportion and smooth curvy design is beautiful. Looks like a MAC!
