This kind of thing could actually be really beneficial for prosthetics. If we can make a robot that functions as close as possible to a human body at human size, then we can chunk it up to make prosthetics that work like your original limbs and are easy to adapt to.

Now we can have people twitching while hanging from the ceiling without having to hunt them in back alleys! Progress!
