Prosthetics haven't solved the bandwidth problem i.e. how do you connect them to the nervous system.

Well, Elon Musk's Neuralink is claiming they're close at least, but I could also imagine someone coming from the other direction entirely, and making a robot limb that was autonomous and worked with the wearer instead of being directly controlled (but the failure mode would be no fun...)

Sensory input is the other 50% of the game that remains unsolved. If Neuralink's robot works it will be a game changer for artificial eyes, limbs, everything.
Besides that a robot limb can't be autonomous in it's movement as most movements we do are asymmetrical and thus it needs input from the other limb as well.
That said, video calling was the realm of exclusive, high-tech / demos for a long time, then without really being aware of, it's been available in everyone's pocket for a long time now. It went from near-sci-fi to mainstream in the blink of an eye.
