Motherboard
In the first episode of Humans+, Motherboard dives into the world of future prosthetics, and the people working on closing the gap between man and machine.
We follow Melissa Loomis, an amputee from Ohio, who had experimental nerve reversal surgery and is going to Johns Hopkins’ Applied Physics Lab to test out its latest Modular Prosthetic Limb, a cutting-edge bionic arm funded in part by DARPA. Neuro-interfacing machinery is a game changer in terms rehabilitating patients, but what possibilities do these advancements open for the future?

Супер, ещё бы сделать так, что бы было доступно всем.

This is absolutely incredible… 👏👏😅 WOW..‼️ but imagine someone hacking your arm😳🥴
The possibility of a city crawling with homeless veterans equipped with military-grade prosethic limbs is gradually getting less remote. I’ve been reading way too many cyberpunk stories
Imagine if it senses your 14 year old son in the other room and your arm makes a fist and starts moving up and down.
Wonder if this would work for prenatal amputees. Since they don’t have a fantom like Melissa bas.
Did you notice how tight that thing is on her arm? Her arm was kinda dark purple to me haha
Anybody know where I can find research literature regarding this? Seems very interesting.
Can we just simply and exactly mimic human hand?
No offense but I’m thinking Cyberpunk 😁
What a tough cookie! I'd be shedding tears if I had an amputation, and could feel my fingers again.
The biggest issue I can see is in how long this arm will last. Generally, these computer prosthetics have a rather limited lifespan, especially considering heavier work.
I bet it'll take a brain implant before the control and sensory perception gets as good as with a real arm. The reinnervation is just inherently very difficult and not as precise as a brain implant, but, of course, it's the state of the art with this prosthetic technology.
Fullmetal alchemist
People in 1950's : We'll have flying cars in the future
2020: Flying cars are cool but how about life changing bionic arms??
The only problem I have with robotic arms and stuff is that you wouldn't be able to do arm day (or leg day in the case of robotic legs)
It can curl 45 lbs?? That's more than your average man
this is why I believe in God. look at how much intelligence it takes to make an arm. and you think we just evolved from nothing?
Respect for the people who are developing this technoligy!
Future baby!!
Mike Pondsmith approves.
Not really mind controlled it's controlled by what's left of the muscle and nerves yes those are control by the mind but ultimately the arm is controlled by the muscles left in her arm
How far will this go? Currently people work on hands, legs, hearts and this can possibly affect all parts of the body sometime. And maybe it will be even possible to copy ones conciousness into a computer. I mean, the brain is an electrochemical computer, so theres no real difference.
This could actually work.
Magic is science we yet dont understand.
OMG it's revenant!
she is a nice lady, thanks john Hopkins Hospital. thanks giving people more feeling of normal, and recovery as great people. thanks doctors and engineers. Amen, God Bless.
can it give a finger?
Ok so did they fckn giver her the arm? If not wtf . She had surgery to put her nerves on the outside of her body .
