A team of Japanese researchers recently unveiled wearable robotic arms in a bid to unleash human creativity. About the invention: The Inami Lab research team, led by the University of Tokyo’s Information Somatics professor Masahiko Inami, created spider-like robotic limbs called “Jizai Arms" that can be controlled by the wearer. Meant to augment and support humans, the entire Jizai Arms system consists of a wearable base unit equipped with six terminals and four detachable robot arms.
