MIT and Boeing have just introduced Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) to the world.

From the publication via IEEE Spectrum:

Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) are robotic limbs that, when worn, give you more limbs than you’d normally have. In other words, they’re not robotic limbs designed to replace biological limbs that you might be missing, but rather robotic limbs designed to augment the number of limbs that you have already.

It seems to me that you should be lifting the box with your insectoid robot arms and not the other way around…
