Stelarc's third arm
http://www.stelarc....au/third/third.html
This guy has got his third arm already. Now he's looking for a second set of ears. [TeaInTheAfternoon, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 17 2004]
Youbionic's extra arms
https://mobilesyrup...printer-prosthetic/
They have a version that mounts two forearms with hands onto one of your wrists, and a version that mounts one whole arm onto your upper arm (which is what I want). [notexactly, Jan 23 2019]

Where can I buy one, [neelandan]? |
|
| |
My only concern is that just one extra arm may not be enough. |
|
| |
And poking myself in the eye. |

You might consider transferring it to your belt, if you want it to wipe your arse. In that case a preprogrammed sequence would be preferable. "Both eyebrows together and up = wipe arse. Left down, Right screwed = hold drainage apparatus in appropriate position." The possibilities are endless. |

This, however, is for people who lash up electronic circuits before committing to the full blown design of a printed circuit. Many a time I have added one more wire to a joint only to find that three wires spring out. |
|
| |
RT & cp, it seems, share my sentiments. |
|
| |
Phoenix: the system will have built in stops to avoid poking yourself in the eye. |

Don't worry, Peter's mostly 'armless... |

Within the past couple of years, I saw some research project
where they made 3D-printed arms with hands, that mounted
onto the arms of a person with typical arms, to assist with
tasks. I don't think what I found just now [link] is it, but it
looks pretty similar in concept. |
|
| |
Hmm, it doesn't seem very useful as it stands. I'm
wondering if there's a way of creating maps of the motor
and sensory homunculi which enable extra hands and then
interfacing them to peripheral nerves somehow. |
|
| |
Not sure I'd want a third arm. A third penis, though... |
|
| |
You could've had mine if you'd asked but there'd be bits
missing. |
|
| |
Wait, not that it's my business but how many.... never mind. I don't want to know. |
|
| |
Thanks anyway, [19thly], but I'm good. |
