Japan has invented some of awesome things, Playstations, sushi, samurai's, and SNES. But nothing compare to the Actroid-F.
It can do human like movements with almost human like movement. This includes face movements, gestures, speaking, and other movements. It
is truly a robot ahead of its time.

Star Wars And Prosthetics.
We have all seen the movie star wars, and we tend to notice a few things if not many,like the jedi, wookies, yoda, and stormtroopers, But one thing i have noticed was the use of prosthetics and robots.
Where would Anakin be if there were no robotic limbs? Dead obviously, and how gay would luke skywalker look with one arm?
With that said, Can prosthectics help gain loss and give the person the same or more abilities?

Pushing Beyond The Limitations.
I have recently seen a number of movies, and played a number of video games regarding power suits or exoskeletons.
From what i have seen, the idea of having extra strength, mobility, and edurance really facinates me. But it leaves me with one question. Are we moving beyond the human body? or Are we finding new ways to make it better?
