we know the world we live in, as much as we'd like to have a futuristic robotic arm if we ever need one we would have those not so cool looking and more realistic but not realistic enough arms bc Idk Karens would protest that robot arms scare them or somethin, call me paranoic or madman but seeing the direction the world is going I can perfectly see it happening

In my opinion, by the time we have truly great robotic prosthetic arms/hands, we will have also likely gotten to the point or at least close to the point where we would be able to 3D print organic body parts with the patients own cells and DNA so doctors could attach a biological body part that will effectively be the person's own flesh and blood.

Another $768 Billion dollars to America's military.
I don't see anywhere near as much government funding for prosthetics- which are even potentially useful to vets within the very same military.
Glad our priorities are clear as day-
At least we can still keep the middle east and its oil in a cuckhold with our drones and missiles. -

I rather choose a more badass looking arm then realistic one because of three things:
1. Realistic arm makes a Uncanny valley feeling
2. Building a cyber type arm have so much use like switch fingers (for construction, defense or putting some kind of device to your arm like a phone or something)
3. It looks dope af

Does anyone use one of these? My dad is an amputee and would be a good fit. I just want to know whether it's worth going down this path yet as it's not a conversation I want to start unless there's something real we can do to give him something he thought he'd never have.

I got a good idea: make a software that connects to the AR glasses. so basically if you were to lift ur hand and look at an object or intensify looking at 1 finger etc. To make the fingers lift, move, bend etc. Perhaps rethink the idea of having 5 fingers, and only 3

i love how the general consensus is that prosthetic arms would look better had they not tried to mimic a human hand, but rather become a fashion accessory. i mean, if you have the chance to get a new limb why get the old one back? get something brand new!

I live in South East Asia and I am still waiting to see one of these. Lots of amputees here. Makes me wonder if these are even real, just an elaborate hoax, or something make for only the wealthy.

Hey Wired, at the beginning of the video you reference the Olympics but it is actually the Paralympics - the Paralympic Games. I hope you can adjust this, to communicate accurate info. Thx!

I think, within 20 years, these prosthetics will far surpass human limbs and people will start to replace body parts like a new type of plastic surgery.
