Question: Hi I have to ask a challenging science question for my science homework, so here goes. Is there anyway of changing someone physical output so instead of having human arms there were a robotically augmentation? Is this possible? yes, no and why (The only way of explaining what a mean is by bring a game in to the equation, the game in called Deus ex, the only reason I bring the game in to the picture is because it shows what I mean perfectly here is a picture from the game to show what I mean http://www.esperino.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Deus-Ex-Human-Revolution-Sarif-Augmentation.jpg). Thanks in advance for your time. Sam Marshall.

  This is a good example of how science fiction is closer to the truth than we know. There are professional sprinters that actually have advanced speed due to having artificial lower legs. See below:

  While the example you have shown may be years away it is definitely possible! If you are interested in this sort of science you should look into doing a Mechatronics engineering degree.
