2) Controlling a RoboSapien

3) Now the latest of all - to help treat patient who has just recovered from strock. Apparently the Wii Board which sells for a mere USD100 works as good as the balancing board used in hospitals. The only difference is the latter comes with a price tag of a whooping $18,000 USD.
