Yeah, I see a lot of applications in robotics. "The projections could be used to encourage bone to grow onto artificial hips."

In robotics, seems there would be extensive application of this in composite joints that would reduce the weight by elimination of fasteners, and increase the strength of moveable joints.

Me too. A totally unexpected development (at least from my point of view) that should have a profound impact on all of us. I love stuff like this! :-)
