That sounds interesting. Maybe in the future once we figure out how to regrow limbs we will also be able to grow extra limbs.

Yeah, extra limbs also need completely reworking anatomy neural networks, muscle memory, physiology. Lot more probably. Its gonna be quite a while before we get to that level.

That makes sense, but would robot limbs be any easier to produce and connect to the brain than biological ones?

Much easier. Robot limbs would be battery powered and connect to body mostly with just the neuron network. Actual bio limbs would be like an Organ transplant. Quite a complicated mess, and is lifelong commitment to immunosuppression.

I dont mean adding Robot limbs would be actually easy, just saying that is still easier in few degrees of magnitude than an actual bio limb.
