Fantastic! The very first time I read about stuff like this was back in the '80s when you had to wear a backpack full of electronics to make it work a little. So glad to see the advancements in science.

My question: how accurate are your movements, do they allow you to, say, pick up cups of liquids without spilling them or is the motor control still more rudimentary?

Also: do you have to consciously think of the movement you want to make or does it work akin to (excuse the term) "natural" muscle control, which is subconscious?

Great, so in a couple of years artificial limbs might be able to function as well as (or better than) natural limbs. Good for you, hope you get to become a javelin-throwing watchmaker!

I imagine the sense of self-reliance you regain must be one of the best feelings in the world.
