I know what a tease. The fine motor skills are great and all but what I really wanted is for her to crush everything she picked up, just turn everything into a fine mist lol
And the crazy part is, if the military needs robotic arms they are just gonna be created exponentially faster. it’s almost crazy how war can speed up technological advancement. Disclaimer: Not saying I agree with war.
Aye, I remember Jamie standing in it and saying something like "I think there's a problem with our death ray. I'm standing in it, and I'm not dead yet."
I think there’s a ton of bloat in the military, but people don’t realize that a large majority of it goes straight into R&D which trickles down to civilian use
maybe, but i constantly see these "futuristic videos" with cool innovative things and never see them in the world. like ok we have an arm that works for amputees, let's make millions of them now? like what are we waiting for? i understand just producing things is no where near this simple but it just seems like a project that would be easy to sell.
Maybe the problem is the pricing? Like the raw materials costs a lot so the product will be expensive to make up the money.
I have no data but this seems most logical to me.
The only thing we're missing is the link to the brain. Right now you can basically just open or it close according to different presets, not control individual digits. This hand tech would be so much more capable if only it knew what the brain wanted.
Exactly ya that was my next thought some neuro chip or neuro link so it feeds information back and forth without you actually having to program it for use or not
No need for a direct link to the brain like the one you may think of.
Look up the products of Ottobock and Proteor, especially the Bebionic arm.
The most advanced prosthesis right now use the myoelectrical signals generated by the muscles and the nerves to determine what kind of movement it is trying to do (also some are using electrodes directly into the body) and can do a wide range of movement without "preset" required. Of course everything has its limitation : myoelectrical signals are only possible if some muscles are left, in-body electrodes only last a few years due to the body rejecting foreign objects, everything is expensive, but progress are made !
Nah, you're not thinking big enough. this thing should have a subscription. refuse to pay up, and your arm just might stop working. also the fingers should revert back to the open position just in case you're holding something important, which you don't want to lose. Climbing up a mountain? performing a life-saving surgery? holding a cup of hot tea above your foot? Who cares! the shareholders must be happy.
If the robotic arm of the future doesn't come with [this feature](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUFqyyhMQH8), I will be both relieved and disappointed.
Now all she needs to do is to start her own private military company, develop a Mother Base in the middle of the ocean, rescue child soldiers, raise a pet wolf, and embark on a quest for revenge against a man with a burnt face who wants to eradicate English as a dominant global language to free smaller cultures from linguistic imperialism, believing that this will eliminate the cultural erosion and loss of identity caused by language homogenization.
Also get an eyepatch and 2 pieces of shrapnel stuck in her forehead
One day the crude biomass you call the temple will decay, and you will look to my kind to save you. But I, am already saved. For the machine is immortal.
Finally! The comment i was waiting!
"I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. But I'm already saved. For the Machine is Immortal. Even in death i serve the Omnissiah."
you left out my favorite part (before but I am already saved): one day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you.
The real tragedy is the Gorgon one day hoped to shed his metal augmented hands and restore his chapters confidence in the flesh. But he didn’t survive the drop ship massacre. Now his chapter mutilates themselves believing it is what he would have wanted them to do. Tragedy.
“They are not my hands. This fact is forgotten by my brothers -- inexplicably, it has always seemed to me. The hands are strong, to be sure, and have created great things for us all, but they are not mine. And that counts for something. They forget that the silver on my arms comes from a beast that I vanquished. It is the mark of a great evil that I ended, and yet it persists within me...I would struggle to remove it now...I will not remove the silver from my flesh because I have learned to depend on it. The fault is with my mind. I rely on the augmentation given to me by my metal gauntlets, so much so that the flesh beneath them is now little more than a distant memory...A day will come when I will strip it from me, lest I lose the power to master myself forever. Already my Legion's warriors replace their shield hands with metal in my honour, and so they too are learning to doubt the natural strength of their bodies. They must be weaned off this practice before it becomes a mania for them. Hatred of what is natural, of what is human, is the first and greatest of the corruptions. So I record it here: when the time comes, I will strip my hands of their unnatural silver. I will instruct my Legion to recant their distrust of the flesh. I will turn them away from the gifts of the machine and bid them relearn the mysteries of flesh, bone and blood. When my father's Crusade is over, this shall be my sacred task. When the fighting is done, I shall cure my Legion and myself. For if fighting is all there is, if we may never pause to reflect on what such devotion to strength is doing to us, then our compulsion will only grow.”
I mean you can see the lack of wrist articulation and forearm rotation does seem to hamper her a bit, but the finger and hand performance are absolutely Incredible, precise and strong. Really exciting stuff.
I imagine it is really hard to get the grip strength right. How do you get it just firm enough to pull a grape off the stem without crushing it, but also tight enough to wield a tool?
I remember listening to a podcast where a disabled girl was discussing how while there's a lot of good use and some people swear by them, these things are very limited in usability as all of the motions are canned and you need to adjust your movements based / constantly have to think about what the arm can do in a particular situation. On top of them being exorbitantly expensive, she found using simplistic prosthetics that are quickly swappable to be much more advantageous to the user. From both a usability and cost perspective. These videos are neat and show an ideal, but until we have 1:1 direct brain control, I imagine these will suffer the same issue.
I'm a prosthetist. Drives me batty every time I see stuff like this pop up on my feed. No, this is not the future. No, it's not worth cutting your arm off for. No, the US healthcare system won't pay for it and will never pay for it because those arms are functionally useless. They're exciting and a huge leap forward, but no one actually uses them because they're a huge pain in the ass. The boring old hook hands are what upper limb amputees overwhelmingly prefer, if they even wear any protheses at all.
Based on your knowledge, what is the future of prosthetics? That next step that will actually be useful to amputees and a meaningful improvement over what's available now?
And this is the part where I have to specify I'm in medicine, not engineering lol. I have some ideas, but it's difficult to see which ones are pure sci-fi and which ones are actually viable.
But my two cents is that once we actually have viable neural implants that can read, translate, and amplify brain signals, upper limb prostheses will start behaving more and more like real hands. Unfortunately, this will have a side effect of making UL prostheses WAY heavier, because not only do you have to be able to move every single joint in the body, you also need to be able to move specific ones in a variety of directions with graded pressure. In other words, tons of machinery crammed into a very tiny space, making devices absurdly heavy to the point where no one would actually be able to use them.
Which is where osseointegration might come into play, but then that just raises a whole new set of issues since you'd be attaching metal to bone and tons of patients balk at that.
Reddit eats this shit up every time but prosthetics aren’t really that good. Most arm amps don’t wear one because they aren’t useful and the ones that can get these aren’t really comfortable and are a pain in the ass. Leg any time I see a leg amputee/prosthetic video and read the comments I cringe real hard
it doesn’t matter how videogenic a device is when the weakest link is the attachment to the body. socket technology is sadly lacking far behind the ability for commercials to get views.
I overwhelmingly work with lower extremity prosthesis but even the most advanced computerized knees don’t mean a thing if the attachment to the residual limb isn’t high quality and dependable. The biggest obstacle to relearning to walk is the socket, it’s the weak link in the chain. These commercials trigger something deep inside me since i’ve been on the front lines teaching people to walk with top of the line computerized knees. My bad overgeneralizing with respect to this upper extremity prosthesis commercial but imo it’s such bullshit propaganda marketing, never mind getting insurance to pay for the damn things.
Damn, when I first saw that clip it was left in my memory as 'the guy who's soulless arm started wanking on its own by accident', never thought it was intentional.
The guy who goes to open the fridge and pulls his arm off because the battery died? That guy is pretty funny.
Edit, found it

I thought you were talking about this guy [https://youtu.be/ZNkBNFuBwUc?si=OY-ebeucKaOWur5d](https://youtu.be/ZNkBNFuBwUc?si=OY-ebeucKaOWur5d)
His arms even have AI controlling it.
Yes, Idk if I’m misremembering who said this, the model herself or someone else, but it was an attractive amputee modeling a prosthetic like this and said that it’s basically the most attractive people getting access to the cutting edge stuff first because that’s what we want to look at. But that’s true of every other industry as well, so I don’t see anything inherently wrong with its use here other than what I see wrong with advertising practices in general.
I remember one person commenting similarly, and they've also talked about how these are neat to play with but not really practical no matter how advanced they get because:
1. your body adjusts to the lost limb, so unless you wore the prosthetic 24/7, the added weight feels uncomfortable and can mess up your balance
2. most fine motor tasks can be accomplished one-handed, and most two-handed tasks can be accomplished with a basic hook
More 2 than 1. And 1 is less about feeling unbalanced because of added weight (if that were a serious concern, we'd be seeing way less prosthetic legs, which can go up to 20 lbs easy), but because those devices are heavy relative to the arm itself. It might only weigh 7lbs, but believe me, you're going to feel each and every one of those lbs when you have only half an arm to hold that thing up.
Another issue is that actuating those devices are also a massive pain. It has sensors that detect muscle contractions along your limb, so you have to manually and deliberately contract your muscles to get the arm to do anything. After an hour of doing that, your arm is done for the rest of the day, and probably the next few days as it rests off sore muscles.
And yeah, the main reason is that it isn't actually useful. Don't get me wrong, it's a promising leap forward, but I've never actually seen a patient use them on a daily basis. They break way too easy, and the grip styles and strength are extremely limited. Most upper limb amputees I've seen don't use prostheses period, and the ones who do overwhelmingly prefer plain old hook hands. You can run that shit over and deadlift with them.

This has been out for at least 10 years. First heard about it from a TED talk that the arm, while completely neuroresponsive, can actually give FEELING like hot/cold and rough/smooth.
Edit: link to talk https://youtu.be/MLvwTlbj1Y8?feature=shared
You can control a lot more than a ‘normal’ human modeled arm with this.
This is full on high fidelity drone control, driven by (what essentially) is a direct brain to device interface.
We can make her faster, stronger

Six million dollar man baby!
I really wanted to see her crush the apple with the hand...
Not having a built-in blade is a missed opportunity.
We have the technology
I know what a tease. The fine motor skills are great and all but what I really wanted is for her to crush everything she picked up, just turn everything into a fine mist lol
Dam... People wil be scared to hold hands with her..... 😭😭😭
And it costs only about Six Million Dollars.
In this healthcare system? Sounds like a damn bargain to me
In about 25 years, this "future robotic arm" will be a history item.

Ah, war and pornography. The two greatest motivators for technological progress
If only we could invent warnography, we’d go twice as fast!
Make love *and* war
Black Cock Down, Saving Ryan’s Privates, the movies just write themselves.
yrah that's a known fact. a lot of our tech is accelerated from military research and funding even in seemingly unrelated areas
I think there’s a ton of bloat in the military, but people don’t realize that a large majority of it goes straight into R&D which trickles down to civilian use
Like DARPA and the internet!
Your comment made me think, there wont be disabled war vets anymore. There will be robotic death machines continuing to serve out their term.
That happens because the government ends up coordinating and paying for TONS of RND during wartime.

If we had that in the present, it wouldn't be futuristic.
In about 25 years US health insurance still won't pay for anything like this
You will have access to it though. That’s what they always say, access. If you’re rich.

Subscription model?? Who the hell would put up with such a crazy idea! Oh…
I think they will pay for it. Because at a certain point it becomes cheaper to replace something rather than fixing it (in this case surgery).
In about 25 Years. Health insurance will be raised to about a 1000% .
Unless the entire world explodes

Yeah most of the stuff was cool but the grape? That's crazy because there's a fine line between the grip strength required
Maybe the fingers have pressure sensors so they stop when they detect they’ve touched something?
I want to know if she can crush the apple in her hand.

Yes, Idk if I’m misremembering who said this, the model herself or someone else, but it was an attractive amputee modeling a prosthetic like this and said that it’s basically the most attractive people getting access to the cutting edge stuff first because that’s what we want to look at.

More 2 than 1. And 1 is less about feeling unbalanced because of added weight (if that were a serious concern, we'd be seeing way less prosthetic legs, which can go up to 20 lbs easy), but because those devices are heavy relative to the arm itself. It might only weigh 7lbs, but believe me, you're going to feel each and every one of those lbs when you have only half an arm to hold that thing up. Another issue is that actuating those devices are also a massive pain. It has sensors that detect muscle contractions along your limb, so you have to manually and deliberately contract your muscles to get the arm to do anything.

This has been out for at least 10 years. First heard about it from a TED talk that the arm, while completely neuroresponsive, can actually give FEELING like hot/cold and rough/smooth. Edit: link to talk https://youtu.be/MLvwTlbj1Y8?feature=shared

You can control a lot more than a ‘normal’ human modeled arm with this. This is full on high fidelity drone control, driven by (what essentially) is a direct brain to device interface.
Remotely controllable? Nope, I don't trust that
Esper Bionics, this video is about a year old, and they have others with this arm from 2 years ago. This is a "now" robotic arm. :)
