Robotic Extra Thumb Controlled with Toes

Have you ever wished you could do more with your hands. This robotic thumb gives you an extra finger to get things done. You can control the thumb and move in different directions by wiggling your toes. This robotic thumb lets you hold your cup and stir it. It also lets you peel a banana with one hand more easily.

As the above video from New Scientist explains, using such a robot may confuse your brain how your hands work. University College London researchers are behind this project.
