A game-changer in prosthetics has been introduced to the world, and for the first time, amputees are regaining sensation through an electrical signal from their prosthetic arm. Max Ortiz-Catalan, a professor of bionics, explains the process of implanting these mind-controlled bionic arms through direct skeletal attachment. The researcher takes us through every step of this groundbreaking advancement in bionic medicine, from surgically implanting electrodes to fitting the prosthesis and training for everyday use.

As cool as it is to probe how superhuman we could potentially go with this technology, he's more focused on "what problems in this field have we not yet solved". It seems like he would rather solve a lot of problems to rough biological parity rather than ride one technology to the sci-fi endpoint that a lot of people dream of, and that's admirable.

I remember writing a paper in middle school, in the early 2000s, about how I saw a future where bionic limbs could be controlled by people's nerves. That kind of stuff was barely done back then but a lot of people, even kids like me at the time, were dreaming of the technology. Its so awesome to see it coming to fruition. The major hurdle now is definitely dexterity. Having control over the arm, wrist, and fingers like they showed in the video is amazing, but if it takes too long to do what you want it to it can be frustrating and limiting. If we can get movements down to regular limb speeds then those patients will basically have the same capabilities as they had with their former body parts. If we can get dexterity even faster, its possible they could have capabilities exceeding those they had before!

I'm not sure if they could even get better. Human limbs are incredibly well contained and refined. They can heal on their own, grow on their own, and adapt to changes.

Absolutely amazing... We should all be funding such innovations rather than wars... It's a tragedy how humanity focuses on greed and selfishness rather than development and progress

Sadly, most of modern day technological advancements are the result of wartime necessity

@toddjohnson7572 4 ай бұрын

Yeah, but if there's no wars -- there's going to be a lot less arms & legs needed to be replaced, and the price of those are going to go up!

Amazing! I would have thought infection would be a problem with the internal implant being exposed at one end. I know it's a problem in things like titanium knee and hip replacements which are closed up.

I, for one, welcome our new cyborg overlords. Edit: For real though, this is absolutely incredibly amazing. I didn't think I'd see the day that something like this actually became something other than sci-fi. At least not until I became an octogenarian. Bless all the brilliant minds that worked on this, and all their tireless efforts. A true marvel to behold.

This is fascinating! I've always wondered how close we're getting to sci-fi, with the one presently coming to mind being Deus Ex: Human Revolution (where the main character, an ex-SWAT turned security guard, Adam Jensen, had most of his body replaced with bionics after a terrorist attack on his workplace). Sure, those were "military-grade" implants he got, with some weird additional features, but the basic functions at least - he never had any issue controlling his bionic arms or legs, for example. This seems like we're getting quite close to that, which is awesome; giving people a second chance at a normal life is always great, instead of them having to live with reduced limb counts and thus an inability to do things as easily as others.

something right outta 40k :D mechanicus. Not even kidding, the idea of connecting wire to nerves was something I first heard through warhammer 40k. Real life cyborg capabilities. I love this a lot, Im glad people who lost limbs get an opportunity to actually get stuff like this.

in 100 years this could easily turn into cybernetic enhancements. Considering we're figuring out how the wiring of the human body/electrical signals travel and meaning and combining it with a learning ai. That's so intensely cool.
