"I can move smoothly" Proceeds to move in the most robotic way imaginable

[@pwnmeisterage]

Pneumatic muscles are much less efficient than organic muscles in certain parameters. They need external power supply, the end-point connectors and actuation signal interfaces on each bundle are quite bulky, and too much muscle density causes thermal issues. Plus, of course, more bundles require more clever complex signal/control processing. A chassis/skeleton capable of "natural" smooth, confident, human-equivalent movement would have obviously non-human shape and size, it would look like some kind of cybernetic Frankenstein monster. But they are already used in some prosthetics. And their efficiency is always being gradually refined, it's a gestalt from many other improving technologies.

These are muscles To be able to hook up to nerves is a different game and distinguishing between the signals in the nerve is also hard .

[@bulbulitobayagbagan9633]

Right now, it is impossible to hook robotic system into our nervous system. All existing techniques are working but those can't get enough neuro signal from our brain. The only promising one (when it comes to theory how we will do it) is the Neuralink which Elon Musk developing. The only thing you can get clear signal from your brain is to hook up a signal receiver directly from the brain which needs a very very precise surgical machinery. If Elon succeeds, Neuralink will allow you to move robotic arms precisely and accurately. Also, it will allow you to acquire new skill without practicing it and by just downloading the neural code of a specific skill from your brain. Well until now this is still a science fiction anyways.

[@Darth_Melek]

@@bulbulitobayagbagan9633 Our limbs are linked to us in what you can call an organic biometric signal. That's why when there are cases when you can save the severed finger or even arm in time it can be surgically reattached with odds of recovery success with the neural link. To do so with a robotic limb is nearly impossible right now as your brain doesn't recognize it as the hand it's looking for. The Phantom Pain effect happens because the brain is scanning for the limb. If we can manage to copy this organic biometric code somehow into the robotic limb we can cause the brain to accept the limb as the old one and exchange neural messages with the arm granting us not only control but even the option to bring back the sensations of touch, cold and warmth.

[@antares_sum]

alaskankare the answer to both is yes. The electrical signals tell certain filament groups to tighten up, shortening their length (you can also see them grow thicker as well). They did an awesome job of mimicking actual muscles.

[@issoulescondes3913]

Pneumatic multifilament with a central pump and battery in the body would be better in strengh, fluidity and resistance. And why not regrouping those filaments ? We can't see the different muscle or it's getting strange when it contracts they could have make a sort of skin in any material for each muscle just to protect the filaments from the others or external aggressions

[@StitchesLovesRats]

Okay, but how do they actually function? See, most of the synthetic muscle fibres I've seen so far need to be powered to relax them. Like the nylon wire ones, for example. So how exactly do these fibres contract? Coz if it's turning the power off then implementation is gonna be wicked power hungry.

This works remarkably well, and I think that if this work continues, realistic prosthetics won't be too far behind. The one area of concern for me would be about the multifilaments themselves. From the video, it looks like the filaments become "loose", for the lack of a better word, during some movement. I would fear that some of these loose filaments could get caught-or pinched- in another muscle during quick movement.

Next thing you know, they'll be jogging around the block by themselves.

[@peter.24.7]

Imagine sitting at the breakfast table and staring out the window as that jogged by. I'd be checking to see if someone hadn't spiked my coffee.

[@Senevids]

youtube recommendations brought us to the terminator

[@MrHeuvaladao]

You mean skyNet

[@themainman2827]

I dont see robots, i see cybernetic implants.

[@ABONE-OL748]

This type of robot is more valuable and usable than typical Boston Dynamic Robots. There are most of fibrils like a biyolgical muscle and you can strecth every fibrils with different power and do more precisive and sensitive motion

[@mfcoom9485]

Sign me up when you need a ghost

[@shadydusty1023]

I'd say about 2 to 5 years later there will be recreations of The Terminator.

[@Spinjastar]

arm spaghetti? In my lifetime? neat.

[@ptonfire1]

This is 2016 ,I'm sure they have one that don't need a harness now in 2021...& has white blood.

[@PianoMeetsMetal]

Can't wait to see the completed version.

[@chrisdosseyify]

Walking down your street with machine guns?

[@PianoMeetsMetal]

@@chrisdosseyify Sure, if it can accompany with other things like making me a sandwich.

[@chrisdosseyify]

@@PianoMeetsMetal, as it walks towards the kitchen, turns and pulls it sunglasses down and says, "I'll be back".🤣

[@PianoMeetsMetal]

@@chrisdosseyify I bet its gonna be a really good sandwich now

[@chrisdosseyify]

@@PianoMeetsMetal, it'll blow your mind!

Deus Ex: Skeleton Evolution

[@xaosbob]

Goddamned Institute propaganda. Seriously, though, this is cool as hell! I LOVE LIVING IN THE FUTURE!

[@danl.4743]

This is nothing. Imagine living during the industrial revolution

[@AnuarAzar]

Xaos Bob you are in the present

[@hadenwilson7278]

we are 3 dimensional beings existing in a 4th dimensional universe, time is relative, the present to you is different than the present of someone traveling 80% of the speed of light, the "future" becomes "present" for an instant, then becomes the past for eternity from our perspective.

[@runicrules]

We are all living in the past. By the time your brain processes external stimuli, the moment has passed. We're all experiencing the world on a delay.

[@frankiesomeone]

when can i transfer my consciousness in one of these?

[@ManyHeavens42]

with CO2 cartridges in prosthetic, emergency power

[@cheesebusiness]

I’m glad that you’ve fed the robot

[@jonno666]

Aye yo wheres my "i got this video in my recommended 4 years later" gang at

[@Dr-vear]

that robot killed them

[@MrAntice]

They are late. We are closing in on 5 here. just a couple more months to go.

[@MrHeuvaladao]

Skynet is flexing to us

[@ChillyShrimp]

Basketballs are not for kicking.

The next steps: Make an exoskeleton above the live human body (not the human skeleton). Make an portable built-in free energy generator powering this exoskeleton. Fully rebuild it with nanorobots, provide self-repairing, rebuilding the constructions, healing the human body, split them into a processing cluster, load the self-educating operation system managed to serve human, etc. Teach these nanorobots for building external armor function. Teach these nanorobots for organise "external invisible structures". Teach these nanorobots to analyse and recombine different DNA-s. Teach these nanorobots for raw access with human mind. Teach these nanorobots to build external electromagnetic power shield, for full electromagnetic diapason invisibility, and additional protection, breaking the gravity, etc. Teach these nanorobots to detect and analyse external informational fields and structures, including analysis the unknown alien logic. Teach these nanorobots for Extended Special Theory of Relativity, allowing to travel anywhere throw the space and time, and the another branches of reality including the higherdimensional space. Teach these nanorobots to defend and protect humanity. ...

[@TheInsaiyan]

You are asking a bit too much lol. This thing is awesome but can barely walk. But its getting there, be patient(AND RICH!)

[@DanManDanManDan]

hztn did you forget to take your adhd meds?

[@AtlasReburdened]

Sure thing. Tell you what, you get started on breaking the laws of physics and I bring the beer to your Nobel prize party.

[@Dysputant]

Free energy -.- nanobots -.- MMMMAAAGGGIIICCCC, nanobots are not magic , it would be easier to reprogram DNA of human cells , and put machine into human body. Human cells would slow it down to our standards. Not 9 000 000 000 computations in millisecond AI standards.

[@xXiMikey]

hztn two words: genetic algorithms. evolving for years

[@adisuyash]

Just for sheer curiosity, is that a real skeleton?

[@ManyHeavens42]

you don't need so many if you put hydraulic tubing,

[@ML-ly9hg]

This would be so cool as a reference for drawings.

[@JustBizmuth]

i know right? it's just so... interesting

[@AlexJuk00]

Этот скелет играет в футбол лучше, чем сборная России^^

[@danl.4743]

Whatever.

[@ВячеславДойников]

True story, bro.

[@Mcarlson613]

Work with those Russian guys making the arm/hand thing like this

[@ManyHeavens42]

if you knew what they plan everyone better move out of the United States.

[@chrisdosseyify]

Do you want Terminators? Cause, that's how you get Terminators!
