After a brief training period, operating the fingers is biomimetic, that is, it is done by normal volitional thinking, as if the user were commanding his natural fingers. Dextra relies on the fact that much of the musculo-tendon control structures that originally operated the fingers are still present and controllable by the user and can be tapped by the proper sensors.

'Shark and Awe' Mar 9, 2006
And then there's that ultimate underwater dream, the Microfabricated Biomimetic Artificial Gill System, that could lead to all sorts of navy breakthroughs, perhaps even - if you'll excuse a tad of blue-skying - blue shark/human tracking teams, or if not that, then lots of late-night-TV Aquaman jokes. Of course, the US Navy has been in nature's waters in a big way for a while with its Marine Mammal Program in San Diego. (Asia Times Online)
