so,

how long do you think until we have some really serious replacement arms, legs, hands etc for accident victims, disabled persons etc?

That's pretty impressive for what looks like someones garage and not some high dollar corporate lab.

Don't forget the Big Dog robot. Scary looking thing, but works great.

There already are some amazing prosthetics, the main problems with roboticsprosthetics is replicating the senses that a real limb or digit has, plus of course as a result of the accident or following surgery the person may well have nerve damage to the stump which makes matching the robotic prosthetic near impossible.
