I'm a big believer in the idea that accessibility will be the driving force behind technological change into the future. The market for these type of cybernetic devices is driven primarily by people with accessibility needs; which is ironic, because only then the general population wants access to the same technology. The economics behind this is pretty straightforward. Firstly, in my states, accessibility is subsidized by the government and health insurance. Secondly, because demand is low, the costs are incredibly high which allows the accessibility solution, whatever it is, to contain high-priced components. Boston Dynamic's SpotMini is a recent example of a high-priced device designed for people with accessibility needs.
