What do you think the future will look like?
I wonder if future robots will be humanoid et al, an octopus has neurons on its tentacles such that they can move virtually independent of its main brain and torso. As such they derive far greater dexterity in movement, and a robo-octopi could make many parts of a product independently with its different arms/tentacles [lets assume it has hands at the ends]. Further any free tentacle can get to work on another task, or three or all tentacles can work together ~ like when an octopi catches its prey.
