Researchers have several Macaque monkeys controlling robot arms via a direct neural interface and using the arms to feed themselves...
The fluidity of the robot arm's movement are amazing, you can see the monkey interacting with it as though it genuinely has come to associate the arm with itself!
Watch closely and you'll see the arm move closer to the monkey at one point because it has spotted a scrap of food stuck to it that it wants to eat.
