By just thinking about walking, a monkey made a robot walk. The monkey was in North Carolina, and the robot was in Japan. Researchers hope it will lead to better artificial limbs among other cyborg related projects.
My question, though, is this taking us one step closer to monkey and robot world domination?

wow this sounds great for people who have to have prosthesis.
Hey Abbym I dont know if you were kidding or not, but I'd imagine that the controle mechanism would be implanted in the person who has the prosthesis, not a monkey.

That is amazing! The whole thing really is mind blowing. But if this technology were used, say, for artificial limbs, how will the monkey know what the person wants to do with his/her limbs?
