Need a hand? Bizarre backpack give you an extra set of arms that can be controlled remotely

Getting an extra pair of arms is now as easy as putting on a backpack. Researchers at the University of Tokyo and Keio University created a telepresence robotic system called'Fusion' that has a head and two arms that are controlled remotely. The remote person not only sees what the wearer sees, but they can also control the robot's arms, or even use the robot to manipulate the wearer's arms. A telepresence robot is a remote-controlled device that typically moves around using a set of wheels. They've been adapted for a variety of uses, from communications tools for consumers or even for use by businesses.
