In a First, a Prosthetic Limb Can Sense Temperature Like a Living Hand (www.smithsonianmag.com)

The device provides a realistic sense of hot and cold in the missing “phantom” hand by delivering thermal information to nerve areas on the amputee’s residual limb that the brain believes are still connected to the missing hand.

Pretty sure I saw this in a 60's comic book, lol.

As dystopian as that is, I imagine it's a whole lot cheaper and more stable to just make a robot and drop a brain into it.... Wait, wait, I mean build a robot and develop some kind of interface that enables humans to control them quickly and accurately.

Ah, hell, maybe that comic was right after all.
