 Expect to see rapid advances in the field of neurorobotics and prosthetics. The University of Washington's Yoky Matsuoka, a recently-named MacArthur Fellow, has already created a life-like robotic hand, complete with bones and tendons. When this prototype is incorporated into a prosthetic arm, the arm will be operated by nerve impulses. Matsuoka describes her work as, "not even the next step, but many steps ahead of what is available today."
