Because who needs toes😂😂

I personally think they'd look cooler symmetric and without those blocky cases for the computers. Robotic yes, but not megazordy.

263kiki all technology is expensive when it’s first being developed. the goal is to find cheaper and easier ways to manufacture this technology so that it’s accessible to everyone who needs it

yep. all their makings are probably just prototypes.. you have to shell out large sums just to actually be able to buy one

well wait until china has the prints

not half a million, seventy-thousand while that's still a lot, ten years ago it would have been half a million, now it's a tenth of the price. Imagine what the price will be in another 10 years.

I'd believe half a million. My dad's prosthetic arm cost about a quarter million and that was in the early 2000s. Thankfully it was covered by Insurance.

hey drake

+Drake Santiago Yeah he is such an inspiration, did you check what this great guy charges for one prosthesis? $ 70,000 If he wants to make life easier for people, then why charge an arm and a leg? Nobody asks to give it away for free but atleast for a sum that all healthcare companies will cover.

+ColdieHU You need to be reasonable here. What do you think it would cost to make such a leg? And I'm not just speaking material. I'm speaking R&D(research and development). He didn't just do that on his own in a garage. He had an entire team that had to use very expensive equipment over YEARS of research. He has to recoup the cost before being able to bring down the price. The price for this WILL go down. But new technology is always more expensive. Look at the first 1GB Harddrive...it cost 40.000 USD...yes..forty THOUSAND. Today you can buy a Terabyte for 50 USD or less. Research and development make up a lot of that. Let's say you spend 10 million USD to create a new harddrive that has 1 Petabyte of storage. You can now mass produce and sell this, but you are already 10 million in debt. Furthermore you will also have to fight off competition soon...because you might be the first...but once it's out, others will know how it's done and create their own...possibly even while BYPASSING any possible patents you have since they just need to make a few changes to your design. So what do you do? Of COURSE you charge THOUSANDS of dollars in the first year of selling it. You are the only one who can sell it right now and need to make back your money before your time is up. This is why, if you need this...you only have to wait a little bit until A: The recoup their initial spending/R&D "debt" and B: until other companies start copying the design for cheap...as they had only a fraction of the R&D cost.

Jeon Soo Neo This was a great answer. You said all that needs to be said.

+ColdieHU the price would be lowered or even eliminated if governments decided to fund such endavours and then provide them as a human right to anyone in need rather than wasting money in pontless wars ,weapons and corrupt systems

@@aspyr5681 or we could start our own company and make all these for affordable price for amputees who need one or a pair!

While u still use ur muscles(which means u will get tired)u will last significantly longer. And u wont get kramps. And u are less likely to get injured too

You will get tired quicker. You miss about 50 muscles and have to use more energy so you’ll tire out faster

It depends on the legs! There are many different prostheses, and if you look at the kind of legs Oscar Pistorius used to wear to run, they actually have a sort of spring action built into them, which does help propel you forward.

Technology imo is just much directed development to achieve certain task. All our natural bodies have on the other hand evolved slowly for millions of years in a completely undirected manner just based on survival of the fittest. Now that we have the ability to direct these changes ourselves, we don't need the entire slow natural selection process, we can just build what we want. We already have built legs comparable to our human ones. Only a matter if time when we are able to built artificial bodies which can completely supercede the abilities of our own bodies. Probably something equivalent will be possible for brain as well.

@@kunalsingh4418 Yes well. In a way the artificial bodies we've built are more superior to our biological bodies. They are more durable and often have more strength. However, they are not self-sustainable. I.e you cannot got into the nature and power that artificial body. This is something you can do with our biological body. At some point you could probably harness enough solar power and other energies to power your artificial body. It depends on the environment in which you want to keep it powered. Would be cool if we could power the artificial body via biological means as well (i.e eating :) ). I think brains in a way are much more complex though than any other part of the body. Specially in the function it serves. Every other organ we have has a "simple" task: pump blood, use oxygen, digest food for energy etc. And these functions they fulfill are much easier to replicate compared to replicating the function of the brain.

Iron Man jet legs would be nice. Or maybe something out of Alita. Simple convertable roller blades...I'm already getting jealous. They can walk on fire ffs...
