Technological limitations? (Score 1)

I noticed in the article that they mentioned that studying the way octopi move their arms would be the key to building a flexible-armed robot.

This seems to beg the question of whether they have the technology required to create a mechanical construct that has the flexibility and range of motion of an octopus tentacle.

I personally don't know whether this technology exists or how it would be implemented, but if it does, please enlighten this poor, ignorant soul.
