For years, prosthetic technology focused on form over function, on masking lost limbs, rather than agency and usability. But things are changing. Innovations in robotics are giving more people more options, with lower thresholds of entry—and lower price tags, too.  Tilly Lockey takes us through her journey with prosthetic arms. Brian Schulz gives some history of mechanical prosthetics, and what it means for people to reach embodiment with their devices. Tyler Hayes talks about the software that made advancements in assistive technology possible. Charlie Kemp discusses his work building universal robot interfaces, and how they can benefit everyone. And Henry and Jane Evans explain how robots can help a person reach beyond their body’s limitations.If you want to read up on some of our research on robotic prosthetics, you can check out all our bonus material over at <a href="https://www.redhat.com/en/command-line-heroes/season-8/robot-as-body" target="_blank">redhat.com/commandlineheroes</a>.   Follow along with <a href="https://www.redhat.com/en/command-line-heroes/season-8/robot-as-body#transcript-tray" target="_blank">the episode transcript</a>.
