Cause tiny grabbers are just that hard to make?

Would this work with a tarantula?

Sorry for mentioning that

They are going to make you work even when you are dead

This makes me feel sad.

If my limbs would operate using hydraulics, I'd love for my dead body to be repurposed like that. Mount my carcass on a mobile platform and have me grab things from the top shelf while I shed flakes of decaying flesh, constantly surrounded by the scent of rancid fat and formaldehyde. Give me purpose beyond death.

Finally a solution for ED that works without side effects!

I'm wondering what it would be like to keep the metabolism of a brain-dead organism going and controlling it via the nervous system, thereby creating a cyborg (but in reverse as opposed to most sci-fi ones).

Like, imagine an irrecoverable comatose patient whose every speech-related nerve is tapped. Using machine learning, one could create a neural network that maps all muscle movements to sounds and vice versa. The setup could then play any waveform to just about the best of the vocal tract's ability – in short, turning the body into a peak beatboxer. (With multiple such cyborgs or a looper, one could achieve arbitrary precision at recreating sound waves! There can be actual uses too, like letting paralyzed people speak again, but I all can think of is whether the paper of this research ends up using Bad Apple!! or Never Gonna Give You Up as the demo song, and whether there's going to be an acapella band touring with effectively propped-up corpses.)

Why is Goku here?

My mind did not go straight to a sex thing. That would be horrible.

I have deep-seated arachnophobia and deeply appreciate the grotesque, and I still feel so bad for the spiders, c'mon! I at least hope they died of natural causes well before someone decided to try using them as a grabber toy... Like, at least that!
