Ever wondered if there was an arm that you could just attach and achieve incredible strength? Well, engineering students from University of Pennsylvania, have created a device called the Titan Arm which can be attached externally to one's biceps and can be used to lift objects beyond one's lifting capacities.
Looking like a prop straight out of a superhero movie, the Titan Arm is made of aluminium and steel components and has a power motor attached at its elbow joint.
It's likely to be used for rehabilitation of people who have suffered upper body injuries and people who have muscular-skeletal disorders and can also be used to perform stronger feats and even improve the quality of labour.
