The advancement of technology always seems to amaze me. People keep talking about AI or advanced robotic units taking over the world. But I see an integration of robots and humans as the future of mankind

I first read about this years ago. I really hope that this technology advances rapidly. One of my greatest fears in life is to loose either one or both of my limbs. I can't even imagine how I would live.

This should be one of the greatest achievements of mankind ever. Just imagine how great this would be for all the amputees out there now. They could finally live a somewhat normal life now

The Mind-Controlled Bionic Arm With a Sense of Touch

In the first episode of Humans+, Motherboard dives into the world of future prosthetics, and the people working on closing the gap between man and machine.

We follow Melissa Loomis, an amputee from Ohio, who had experimental nerve reversal surgery and is going to Johns Hopkins' Applied Physics Lab to test out its latest Modular Prosthetic Limb, a cutting-edge bionic arm funded in part by DARPA. Neuro-interfacing machinery is a game changer in terms rehabilitating patients, but what possibilities do these advancements open for the future?
