Bionic limbs integrated to bone, nerves, and muscles | Max Ortiz Catalan | TEDxGöteborg

[@LittIegator]

I can't believe nobody clapped at this. Maybe I'm biased because I've toyed with designs of SENS-controlled prosthetics, but it blows my mind that the audience didn't even care when they guy said he 10-year amputee was able to feel another person touching his hand.

[@d4rkhound388]

Some people are just there to see things that would benefit them.... they make me sick.

[@koolaidman6875]

RAI DEN says the cyborg XD btw they didn't clap because they didn't want to interrupt him...if you watch more TEDx videos you will notice that

[@d4rkhound388]

Devil Limon Oi lad, i had my body removed without permission...

[@koolaidman6875]

RAI DEN chicks dig bad boys

[@d4rkhound388]

Devil Limon Bad boys? i would be a bad boy if i chose to have cyborg implants but i dont want any...

[@gabriele.thompson3566]

Cant believe this only has 11,000 views! This is the goddamn future people!! Star Wars shit in real life, oh what a time to be alive.

[@necromancer0616]

EXELENT! TOP SCORES! Now can we add increased strength features for industreal or millitary applications?

[@ToProsca]

Max, you are an amazing man!

[@LarssonLopezcastro]

Bravo! This is amazing. Mexico should be so proud of you Max Ortiz, and Sweden for "borrowing" you :-) / Estamos muy orgullosos de tí Max, y de tu equipo también, muchas felicitaciones por el éxito y tal contribución al mundo.

[@reddragon8741]

This is very cool. Great work Mr. Ortiz. Super excited for the future. Unfortunately I'm an amputee and watching this made me happy and wonder who i can talk to about this type of development. My entire left arm is gone including my shoulder. If anybody got any link i can check out please do me a favor and share some info. Thanks.

[@mpargo6806]

I also want to develop bionic limbs, I wanted to study something along the lines of biomechatronics (though I later discovered there wasn't a undergrad like that); I'll probably, change from engineering phisycs to bioengineering or Mechatronics

[@tkalvis808]

SO VERY COOL, I AM A DOUBLE AK BK In South Alabama, of 28 yrs to car!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK AND FOR SHARING THIS

[@charkvaror2112]

Amazing, this was science-fiction not long ago.

[@saravanakumar2765]

It is not science fiction. Now it become real. It is useful technology for disability people

[@angiealexis3717]

I've always said there is very little difference between science and science fiction! :)

[@Flaviero86]

This is what I dreamed of when I studied automation engineering. This is the start of the breakthrough. :)

[@sunflower4839]

This is amazing new technology for amputees, can’t wait to see this change in the prosthetic industry

[@cordiayngwie]

2021, bionic arms looks great

[@aaronsaldanha2815]

This tech is 5 years old now!!!

[@theb3654]

Well I'm less worried about losing an arm at my dangerous job after watching this.

[@vrunalmayekar7489]

such scientists and engineers should bring in india specialy for indian army and others .such scientists and engineers and their minds are gifts by god to humanity and all .we all should appreciate it

[@Herper96]

This is immensely cool.

[@angiealexis3717]

Medical Science at it's best!

[@KuDastardly]

I wonder, if the neural network is so integrated to allow electrical currents to travel easily, does that mean the prosthetics can feed off the body's bio energy instead of relying on external chargers?

[@KuDastardly]

***** Hmmm, make the world of Matrix would become a possibility, hehe.

[@tankolad]

+Aaron Parker Right, the only way for the body to provide the amount of electrical energy needed for 24/7 operation would be deep modification of the body's biological processes. A fuel cell inside the body to convert food and air into electricity, for example, is plausible, but the efficiency of such a system would be very low.

[@daniellecharenemyers6430]

Ku Dastardly It's extremely possible and I am glad you ask the tough questions.

[@daniellecharenemyers6430]

Tiles Murphy Excellent points, Tiles. Do you actually wear a prosthetic device?

[@tankolad]

Danielle D Charene No, I'm just interested in this stuff.

[@colmduggan8230]

I can not help but think about people who lost there limbs in accidents think of transhumanists who want to get willing prosthesis when the technology gets better than organic

[@aakashsunuwar8130]

How about shoulder disarticulation..........is there any hand for?

[@calkinsb0713]

Freaking awesome !

[@sylasviper715]

Very good.. But, you did not focus on the actual prosthesis itself which is very important, as if the prosthesis has limited functionality, so to will the patient. Plus, stronger signal could be achieved, and less jitteriness could Occur if the cable had less resistance.

[@NCALOI]

Prerendered renderation, I think you missed the introduction. There are commercially available prostheses that have more degrees of freedom than patients can intuitively controlled, you can buy them off-the-shelf, that's a fact, so the bottle neck is not the prosthesis Itself. About your other remarks, those are engineering tricks known since the 1960's when myoelectric prostheses started to be clinically used, and yet, they have made not much contribution to advance current systems. That is of course, unless you believe that you know something that engineers and scientist working in the field have overlooked for 50 years.

[@slyster12]

Combining this technology with John Hopkins robotic arm will produce a truly near human capability for people that lost their upper limb.

[@LectronCircuits]

Awesome cyborg technology. Cheers!

[@AnuragTiwari-kq7iv]

How many price sir

[@nicv278]

Like Robocop, Bionic Man!!!

[@strenuousspider9525]

So at this point we just need better robotic limb motion.

[@cyralho]

absolutely incredible technology, design needs some work tho

[@FrankyLMusic]

ghost in the shell future

[@MrAmine503]

human revolution x)

[@immobiliengutachten-rhein-sieg]

don't try do make it look like a human limb, just apply a nice design to it....

[@gf6368]

why are the swedes so unenthusiastic, is it the asgardian syndrome?

[@daniellecharenemyers6430]

Wonderful innovation ladies and gentlemen! Would you care to tackle the challenge of helping me point my toes using neural networks and mind-over-matter techniques? We could get a leg up on the competition if we work together. DM me if I'd be a good fit. It's time to hit the ground running...and diving,dancing.& gymnastics too. 17 years too long without change or improvements despite an excellent gait. Bring on the biotech and optimism and find me a pair of high heels...please Or an open wall for a handstand. 🤔😲😆😊😇

[@judyb3281]

i would like to see the engineers and medical personnel involved in this research to be very very very honest about how much the bionic arms are reliant upon excellent mechanical design and how much the bionic arms are actually interacting with the 'nervous system' of the amputee. i find it highly unlikely that the nervous system is involved. a human nervous system is hardly capable of generating sufficient 'electrical impulse' to 'power or direct' the movements of a mechanical device. however, we do know of Kevin Warwick's current fraud concerning 'brain waves' and 'interaction between man and machine' (Kevin is using wireless electricity to translate the movement of mechanical arms to human arms and vice versa - fun to watch but in the end, nothing more than a childish game). From personal experience, electricity directed to a microchip implanted within the human body (say, a chip at the top of the spine or in the wrist - or even a chip installed at the base of the spine - which is then used to receive electrical impulses to direct movement of limbs) results in soft tissue degeneration and extreme susceptibility to death by staph infection as the ability of the dermal layer to fend off 'the outside' degrades and disappears. my apologies. i resent fraud committed by those who portray themselves as 'highly qualified'.

[@NCALOI]

It was never said that the power for the prosthesis comes from the human body. You are running your comments based on a wrong assumption. The prostheses have batteries to power the motors and electronics (wow!, hard to figure it out huh?). Electrodes pickup bioelectric signals which are amplified and used for control, and electrical pulse are delivered to nerve afferents for sensory feedback (all this powered by the batteries). There are several electrode designs that the body tolerates very well and had been implanted for decades in hundreds of ppl, that's the state-of-the-art in medical technology. This group has published several scientific articles, go and read those, then publish your comments in the same peer-reviewed scientific journals (in case they make sense to the experts). It's too easy to criticize ppl's work over youtube comments when you haven't even understood the matter at hand.

[@judyb3281]

I would like you to finally demonstrate how you have truly picked up on 'bioelectric signals'. I remain convinced that what you espouse as 'bioelectric signals' in a healthy biological piece of tissue are not ever captured or measured appropriately (you pick up your own machinery and extrapolate generously). once you proceed from there, the rest of your arguments are vacant blather and based upon 'magic' delivered to desperate people hoping for cures. next you claim to cure cancer using scientifically applied Reiki powers.
