Teleoperators and Human Augmentation

Thats right, I said "Teleoperators and Human Augmentation"

“These machines perform as appendages of man, particularly his hand, arms, and legs. Radio links, copper wires, and steel cables replace nerve fibers and muscle tendons...weather they are the tongues used by the old fashioned grocer to retrieve a cerial box from the top shelf or the mechanical hand that may repair some future nuclear-powered space vehicle...the prefix ‘tele’ in teleoperator describes the ability of this class of man-machine systems to project man’s innate dexterity not only across distance but through physical barriers aswell” - Edwin G. Johnsen and William R. Corliss in their essay published in the Cyborg Handbook, 1995
