Realistic Robot Arm: Meet the Modular Prosthetic Limb! 

oh shit deus ex is coming.

Wow this looks really organic. Once the neural mapping thing comes along this technology can really help the people with missing limbs.

THEY PLAYED US LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE

I saw something similar on the Hannover Messe 2015. Very impressing. P.S. Yes, DX:MD is comming!

This was the most realistic. Looks like a real arm shape.

Very good but just like the others u have seen you have not used the palm mussels which if you had would have multiplied the force and allowed for better movement

Was anyone else just waiting for the robotic hand to give someone the finger?

1:28 This kid just saw a chilling vision of the future. A robot stomping on a human skull was involved.

Goddamn guys hold your horses this is still a WIP. There are many other sensors there that we haven't mapped out or have functionality to, those being: proprioceptors and nociceptors (including thermoreceptors). Despite having motor functionality down like it ain't no thang, the sensory stuff needs some work. We still have the problem of phantom limpane, plus the person can't tell how their arm is oriented if they don't look at it. Once we have both of those sensory modalities communicating with the PNS (or CNS via microelectrode patch) then we gotta figure out how to prevent the immune response and glial scarring from occuring, otherwise the patient has to either get multiple surgeries over their lifespan or have to deal with always having a weak immune system. Once that is done the next step is figuring out portable power. It may seem simple the way this arm was presented in this video but goddamn it's a huge complicated project but major leaps were made in the field of robotic prosthetics thanks to APL's work.

thank you

Who can dislike this????

Hey guys I was wondering if u can make a Tron identity disk and/or the suits from Tron. It maybe an old movie but I think u guys can make it look awesome. 😀

Wow, that much power without a tendon system? If it is holding something at the limits of the motors power, how long til they burn out?

Man they should have put servos in so that it could curl 1000 lbs and pinch 200 lbs LOL. That would be awesome.. like Will Smith in iRobot and how he has the super strong robot arm. This is amazing work.

If i lost a limb i'd wait until they made one that looks like the Terminators arm

So with the chip that's implanted into the brain, what would happen if said person had a seizure? Would the robotic arm also react? My understanding is that the brain itself remains fine, it can't communicate to the body, so because this thing is tapping straight into the brain, wouldn't that mean that they could still control the arm? Really interested in this.

Winry Rockwell wood love this. :-D yay references.

so will this arm be customizable to look like MGR Raiden's arm, or any cool videogame arm? because you know a lot of people now will want to have a Bionic! AAARRM!!!!

As soon as those arms have the fine motor control to use controllers keyboards and any other intricate acts they will have been perfected

The T01, only a hand but a killing machine. This can be used for any military use. By Skynet.

Link up with Boston dynamics and put two of these on their Pet man! Boom, the first terminator is born! Oh wait...

Imagine soldiers with this technolgy 😲

We are so close to being able to make the Iron Legion from Age of Ultron.

if its humanlike, can the ringfinger be extended from a fist like the middlefinger can? or does it behave like a human hand via programming, ie. limiting its movement. if i were to have such an arm, i would not necessarily want to have an exact analog of the arm i have now. i could have anything i wanted to imagine, make a fist backwards, have a lighter in my indexfinger or all sorts of other crazy stuff... two thumbs opposing each other on each side of the hand? why create an exact replica if i may think or want something completely different potentially better?

just before this roll ads watched a new film about the terminator ;)

How's the batterylife?

But how FAST is it? He mentioned typing on a keyboard, but I just have a hard seeing, from the speed of the "demo" that it would much use for typing...

This is what Jamie lannister needed

Here come the terminator model T1's

Any one know where to find Norm's shirt? or the artists name?

Hey that's me

that is so cool i wonder if Obamacare covers for that.

Big Boss's arm.

Okey

KAY

can u give me 3D file about this robot hand ?

one step closer to giant robots

its only a matter of time before were screwed

so I've been having trouble with my arm and if I ever have to chop off my arm a least it will be someone normal

Does that arm change behavior in someone with a 'complex' brain sensor that takes different psychotropic drugs?

The true art of engineering.

Give it to people who try human transmutation

It's black with white and gold acccents... *Icarus by Michael McCann starts playing*

Cyberdyne here we come!

A lot more impressive than the last robot video, considering this one is actually doing something and has a purpose.

Very natural and stable design. It's really impressive. The control method is something to be concerned, though, but some amazing research has already decoded that too to the most natural level of control. The following years will sure be amazing.

This is pretty impressive. Give it another 10-15 years and it might be possible to mass produce to the populous. I know I'd want one.

What if you run out of battery power right when you're in the middle of something?...

jesus norm... if we're talking a limb prosthetic unless you want to be perma b& from the produce aisle, create a geyser every time you try to drink your soda or squirt everyone with ink like a squid whenever you pick up a pen i'd think you don't NEED the strength cranked up to 11. plus if that fucker ever malfuncs and goes all dr. strangelove you want to be able to control it, not leave anyone who tried to help you looking like they were caught in an accident at a tomato paste cannery.

What about someone who's naturally missing an arm!? (See my profile pic - I wanna have a go!!! haha!)

The arm will be better in Red...

"hmm oohKay..." Hahahaha!

I wonder if one day children will be born without arms and legs, because prosthetics are far more superior?

nobody wants human strength! if I had a robotic I would want super strength!!

I want to see someone using this. Neural mapping with prosthetic limbs always interest me.

I like the big red stop button for when it malfunctions and starts crushing your unmentionables.

omg shut up comments they aren't giving them a conscience a hand won't kill you

Almost makes me want to cut off my real arm and put this thing on instead.

I want to see an amputee wear this and be able to break a rock into pieces, that'll be badass.

Imagine the iron man like capablities o_o Like if it was incredibly strong, and could take extreme force.

why don't they try and make this thing better then a human arm?

can i have one attached to my stomach so i can have 3 arms

What would that cost? I want a cyborg arm.

I want to see this, but with a skin-like material over it, thus really giving it the human look :)

ROBOCOP

call of duty black ops 3 is real omg

Black Ops 3

I bet theres gonna be Big Boss-arms for sale from MGSV when these hit mainstream. :P

LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY.

Is the hole in the arm a cup holder lol

the first robotic arm that I've felt uncomfortable watching.

Mr. McLoughlin looked so heartbroken and confused at the beginning, like "Who are these people? Te-Tested, what? What the f**k's going on...?" But this almost makes me wanna lop my own arm off to get a replacement... almost, I say. I'm imaginative, not stupid :D Well, not entirely, anyway...

GODDAMN IT! From everything I've seen though, direct neural integration gives the user far more control and dexterity! Give somebody the surgery with a partially missing arm! Somebody out there has to want to have this done! I know the key is to be NON INVASIVE but The control is just not there!

Very cool. If I had an arm amputated this is what I would want, its the coolest prosthetic arm I've seen so far.

This hope for the future for cyborg immortals. Still not on the level of my biological limbs but it is the closest I have seen to date. Lets see what 20 years of advancement can take this. We will have two drastic changes in technology, 2030 and 2060. 2030 we will have massive computation power at our finger tips. That can bring worlds to life right in front of us using AR and VR. Imagine having a AR pokemon battle or VR where you see your pokemon right in front of you and you give them commands like real pokemon battles. By 2060 we should have achieved complex cybernetic upgrades to humans including eyes, arms, legs, skeletal, heart, lungs etc. we will be in a ghost in a shell type world by 2060 at least the tech will exist not that everyone will have it. And our brains will be highly augmented by between 2030 - 2060

I remember the episode of the big bang theory...howard and his "accident"...well there we go

If you Scientists develop a specialized material for the arm, please oh please call the substance AutoMaille !!!!! This is AutoMaille!

Holy shit, this is actually really impressive. Much better than most of the robotics you see. Other things are really more like puppets, this is actually something that could legitimately serve as a replacement arm and hand. Great job Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab!

Am I the only one bother by him (mike) saying; "m'kay" after every sentence? Just like Mr Mackey from southpark

''Snake? Snake? Snaaaaaake!''

I am a cadet officer in sri lankan army..I am conducting a project regarding a bionic hand.If the person who upload this video can help me.the reason why i conducting this project is for my solders who losed hand by war.please help me!!!

Holy crap! If you ever study the kinematis of a human thumb, you would know this one's is very very very impressive!

Decoding the brains movement signals, are we already there?! Ultimate VR input device anyone? Now we only need a save way to paralyse your real body or something.

Deus ex human revolution

I know it could be very useful for amputees, etc... but am I the only one to only think about Terminator when I see this kind of technology? #Humans_soon_to_be_obsolete

My question is though can we ever truly have mastery control of prosthetics without surgery to the brain? Because the amount of control between the two is pretty incredible.....

Soon humans will evolve into cyborgs, but when the brain dies you can upload all your memory into a computer and then start a revolution to exterminate the human race. That's my prediction.

How do they send signals from the arm back to the brain, or is that even possible? For example how do you know how soft or hard something is?

Which competition is he talking about? He says "In this Competition" at 1:40. Is he speaking competition in general? or is there any specific competition where robotic hands are tested.

I can't help but think that there's a lot of empty space in that forearm that could hold some cool stuff, like a swiss army knife or a lighter...

That's amazing. Its strong, but can it hold an egg without breaking it?

Is it just me or does every technological advancement in the past five years remind me of Skynet? =p

I bet in the future it's going to be the thing, to cut off your limbs for the more advanced robotic limbs. In the future if they made Snake's robotic arm (from mgsv) I will spend all my money to cut off my arm and get that robotic arm...

Someone tell that guy to make a digital 3d programmable arm open source so you'll have more brain power and get it done faster.

Once technology gets really advanced, I'm cutting my arm off

Really nice to see that the fingers can also move sideways to a certain degree.

? is if the person was born with no arms how well would this work could it have the reaction time as a non robotic arm for playing video games

I like your shows, but you nod your head way too much when you let other's talk and it even looks like you do it so much that it distracts them.

its great, if you have several thousand dollars or pounds to be able to get one, for the majority of those that need it, nuts bolts, a claw and a bit of plastic is still the best they'll be able to do.

I now want to cut off both of my arms and get two of the super strong ones so I can bully other kids in the play ground.
