Would you want a robotic octopus arm squirming its way around your internal organs? I didn't think so. :eek:

Inspired by the eight arms of an octopus, the device has been specifically designed for surgical operations to enable surgeons to easily access remote, confined regions of the body and, once there, manipulate soft organs without damaging them.
 
If it can save my life, that Robotic Octopus Arm can squirm away. This is an awesome example of technology being inspired by nature to overcome a complex problem. I salute the ingenuity on this one. ^_^
 
Amazing how everybody know exactly who will benefit from this the MOST.;)

Psychedelic Japanese tentacle-porn *cough* "creators" & junkies *cough*...
 
Damn, how would you like to have spent $300,000 on medical school to become a surgeon only to be replaced by a robotic tentacle?

Let this thing record a thousand of each surgery, teach it what works and what doesn't and it'll be able to do the job on it's own with no fatigue, no nerves, no hangovers.
