"6 Finger" Project? Robotics Student Jumpstarts Human Evolution With Robotic Appendage

Robotics Student Jumpstarts Human Evolution With Robotic Appendage: "We’re not exactly sure about the potential advantages of having a sixth digit on our hand (aside from being able to play some crazy guitar licks), but a student at San Francisco State University, who also works for DIY website Instructables, decided to see what it would be like. He created a special glove with a robotic sixth finger that curls when he flexes the muscles in his wrist and arm. It uses Advancer Technologies‘ EMG Sensor (used to power the USB Biofeedback Game Controller we wrote about previously) and our favorite Arduino processor to handle all the data."
