Trying The World's Most Advanced Bionic Hand | The COVVI Hand

[@triple-gq6mn]

I love the more bionic/cyberpunk look of prosthetics, so cool! The "realistic" prosthetics were just always too fake.

[@grahamt5924]

I find the ones that try to look real, creapy.

[@mnomadvfx]

@@grahamt5924 That's called the Uncanny Valley effect. Close to real, but not close enough to fool you.

[@grahamt5924]

@Mountain Nomad VFX Pretending to be real but failing badly only reminds the viewer what is lost, but on the other side, making a mechanical hand makes the viewer only think about the possibilities.

Imagine the improvement in the quality of life this brings to a person who lost both hands.

[@swilleh_]

I wish to everyone who unfortunately lost/wasn't born with limbs can have a pair like those and live a happy life.

[@AssailantLF]

This stuff is sci-fi made real. The next generation of tech seems to be able to incorporate nerves into the tech so there's an actual sensation of touch, which is absolutely mind blowing.

[@sublimelove23]

It’s an honor to be able to live through these times

[@deddrz2549]

Over the years I just see a bunch of impressive but similar bionic arms, I just wish the companies would show the Ms of input to output delay on the hands, to see if we are improving in terms of responsiveness over the years. In terms of Usefulness this is already good, but I want the tech to improve enough that both tracking tech in the real world and virtual worlds will be able to give people the experience of having hands againm

[@COVVILtd]

We completely agree! It's tricky to state what the delay for achieving a grip is, as it varies from person to person and even between different grips. For our hand, it's around 0.5 seconds, but some grips are even quicker than that. When the user is setting up their hand in our app, they can also adjust the sensitivity of different signals to fine-tune how the hand receives inputs from their residual limb in real time. Prosthetic technology is definitely progressing and we're always pushing to be at the forefront of the industry. 🦾

[@INagletz_]

i was wanted to say the same, but i think Musk's Neuralink tech can come in handy here... i dont see any other options, its almost 2027 dammit, where's our Sarif Industries?

[@mnomadvfx]

It's not just the thought to motion latency, but also the sharpness of control and feedback of contact. The technologies for both are getting there, but will probably take years longer to perfect and commercialise.

[@mnomadvfx]

@@INagletz_ I don't trust the average pharma or medical device company to put one of those neuralink things in me, but I trust Musk even less than that.

Super stoked to see more research going into prosthetics. Dude when he went to grab that gas cap I expected his whole hand to just rotate and twist it off. That would have been so gnarly

[@CarlosAlejandro.-ke6gr]

I think these can rotate freely. I have seen several videos of the brand

[@fredfonseca6034]

Hey Brother Respect all the way!! I'm right leg BK amputee and is so cool to see how technology has caught up to the point of giving us so much freedom and independence. Great Job!!

[@mykal2803]

Wild how far we're coming, can't wait to see what's in store for the next 20 years as things continue to advance. Imagine a nueralink type capability, with the advanced robotics instore. I could see a time in the not so distant future people choosing robotic prosthetics over there actual limbs. Maybe its a bit to sci-fi but I dont think its outside the realm of possibility in our lifetime.

[@cafolaadee5920]

You could have an arm collection that you can swap every day just like a watch collection. An arm for every occasion. One arm that’s designed for a the gym, one with guns on it because why not and more

[@ultraheaven8968]

no one should replace a real arm with a prosthetic no matter how advanced they get. The phantom pain alone is bad enough

​​@@luke14946 there are online projects and guides how to make many types of prosthetics. If let's say there's 3D printing needed - she can browse a place that does 3D measurements and printing. if there's a will to do - it can be done

I want to thank you for being there so to help others make things better and not feel hopeless. I'm going to have to start sending info and links and he the one to piss him off first, but no one else is willing to try...My 32 year old nephew had a quadruple amputation and I have been trying to work with anybody to develop hands that continue improving. I would like for him to try to look at some options, others, like you have and hopefully just get better. You're awesome! Doing emotioal research can be so confusing and exhausting and frustrating, humiliating...lol❤

[@Hbnjhnn]

My dad lost his left hand in a garage explosion about 3 days ago and I'm looking for the best prosthetic arm replacements that he could use for driving cooking working and really just everyday life, he's a mechanic and also just enjoys working on cars and go karts with me so his hands are pretty important and I want to get him an arm that can allow him to still do what he loves

[@jezuzpezuz4151]

I wish you luck on acquiring it for him!!!! I can just imagine the feels

[@DukeSolaire]

I hope you find the right one! You should look into 3-d printed arms they often seem to be much more inexpensive.

[@garyreid2472]

Amazing. The other main one where its wired into muscle to have individual finger control also seem promising. Glad we have these

[@himbourbanist]

As I saw him opening up his gas cap and stuff, all I could think about was how much of a huge step forward for his day to day activities this must be. I can't help but think that his brain has probably adapted to using these all the time so it just feels like second nature. Prosthetics have come a LONG way in the last 10 years.

[@0700083edu]

I think that in terms of human-machine integration it will still take us many years to reach a good functioning of a robotic hand. Because we don't even have a solid theoretical basis in neuroscience that allows this. We don't know how to decode nerve impulses, for example. But with Artificial Intelligence, we could at least have a hand with "self-awareness" and if it could talk and play music that would be cool too.

[@metalsonic4.1therobothedge24]

Considering how much its advanced now Its only a matter of Time It would definitively be faster if they were allowed to work more on humans in more free ways

Thats what i am most exited about to see in the future. Artificial limbs that work exactly like human ones. And it will happen

not exactly like human ones. better, imagine being able to twist your hand in a full 360, or crush bones, thatd be sick asf lmao
