Technology advances. And modern prostheses might have the ability to feel things. This kind of prosthesis is a new tool for medical operations, and it can interact with the human nervous system using intelligent electrodes that deliver and receive nervous signals.
This kind of system can used with intelligent neural wristbands. Those wristbands can connect the user's nervous system to the prosthesis.
The same technology created for prostheses can used in hand-shaped manipulators. That prosthesis can also connected with a robot, that communicates with users over the internet.
They can also used with remote-control human-shaped robots. In those systems, the controller can control robots using the BCI (Brain-computer interface) or in more practical models the user can use the VR (Virtual Reality) Glasses, data gloves, and intelligent wristbands, that send neuro-impulses to the robot.
That new prosthesis can increase the ability to make people's lives better after the amputation. These kinds of tools are turning human-robot hybridization closer. And that also improves the ability to use things. Like space suits and other protective systems. Technology created for that prosthesis can used to give the feel of touch to space suits.
By the way...
In K.W Jeter's SciFi book Dr. Adder, the author predicted the weaponized prosthesis. The prosthesis uses a nuclear battery and it interacts with the human nervous system. The computerized prosthesis had IR cameras, that send the images to hand nerves. It used acoustic or laser systems whose mission was to destroy objects. Using modern nanotechnology is possible to create flat loudspeakers that can create sound that destroys red blood cells.
This kind of system is possible to make quite soon. In some scenarios, surgeons can put that prosthesis on an amputated hand. And the surgeons who make that operation would put the hand into the cryogenics.
When the mission is over the surgeon removes the prosthesis and reconnects the natural arm with the operator. The idea is stolen from the KGB execution machine, the high-voltage glove there are electrodes where there is high-voltage electricity. If that system touches a person, that causes deadly electric shocks.
