This kind of technology is not too far from the near future. Think about it, it is basically the combination of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Biological Sciences. This is totally interesting. Think about it, your muscles in the body can definitely be modeled by electronics and mechanics. Your brain sends the message to a synapse which changes the electrical potential across the muscle causing it to move one way or the other in varying degrees of strength. This is a very new, hot, and emerging field that has a lot of potential and interest all over the world.
