Reply to comment by zorokash in European researchers are developing tech to let people have robotic third arms controlled with their brain's spare neural capacity by lughnasadh

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.
