Beyond bionics: how the future of prosthetics is redefining humanity
Bionic technology is removing physical barriers faced by disabled people while raising profound questions of what it is to be human. From DIY prosthetics realised through 3D printing technology to customised AI-driven limbs, science is at the forefront of many life-enhancing innovations

Why are you doing this? Is the Guardian a hub for their kind? For your information, the reason you are like that is because your phone is not working and you are not able to connect to the internet or the internet at all and you are not allowed to use the internet at all because you are not a member of the Guardian or Guardian or Guardian or any other news service or news service or any other media service or news organization or news service that you are not connected to the Guardian or any other government or news service in the Guardian or the Guardian or the Guardian is Australian.
These are probably for the super rich since insurance does not cover prosthetics, which is ridiculous. Meanwhile, the average guy is still going around with a wooden hook.
I can’t help but notice how these videos often lack diversity. I hope that as we progress, we can provide equal access to people of all backgrounds and income levels.
The first prosthesis was invented in 1950 in Moscow, since then the prosthesis control system has not changed. You should not expect something incredible from the current prostheses, they are currently primitive.
Now whats next after this is to create synthetic skin thats indistinguishable to human skin witu movements and feeling equally as similar to a human arm/ hand.
Why don't the arms have other abilities. MP3 player, fitness tracker, heartrate monitor, flashlight, and on and on. If I had one of these, I would go nuts in making it the highest tech and utility, possible.

hey I live in New Orleans. let me know when you come to town
This is not evolution it's just technology, just stop it.
Alita is here soon…
She’s more machine now than man… twisted and evil.
what's wrong with you?
why is it still not repairable (curable)?
We're their!!!

So we'll soon have automail like in Fullmetal Alchemist?
I hope more technology like this is being used in the right way, which would help pave the way for the betterment of our society and humanity.
The field has advanced a lot in the last few years.
full-metal Alchemist

The future can only get better
Im baffled how that dad created an amazing arm for his son. He must have proper education of 3d modeling and some engineering skills. Amazing ❤
those people are truly amazing
Amazing
Big shout out to his mother for being there for him!!

i never understood why nearly all prostetics are this sickly beige color that is just nasty to look at…
i mean if its by free healthcare, ok but if u pay for it, it should imo be designed for the amputee.
She is an angel❤ beautyful
Terminator wife no seriously great job
This is truly amazing technology that gives hope to those who need prosthetics.
This is nothing to do with evolution. It is everything to do with Intelligent Design.
never knew aunt may did archery, no wonder she predicted the projectile of the bomb
Well that's great, but evolution has never been observed, as it's not possible. When I see a fish evolve into a cat, I'll believe.
