DARPA prosthetic arm

During a recent event held by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Tech Insider had a chance to check out one of the most advanced robotic prosthetic arms we’ve ever seen.

Produced by Darren Weaver and Corey Protin. Reporting by Paul Szoldra.

Gentleman, we can rebuild him, we have the technology...

Met a guy with one of these at a nightclub in San Diego recently. He said he was only 1 of 9 people that had it so far. He could shake hands with it no problem. Couldn’t talk much to him about it due to the blasting music, but it was cool to see.

The flesh is weak but the machine is strong!

[ziweitan]

Big Boss is real!

Looks like Deus Ex...without the nanoblades of course.

Help me to get in touch properly because I need to know if those limbs are commercially sold. I need one for myself. Thanks in advance!

Woah. incredible.
Methinks he meant 'innervated' rather than 're-inverted', which is not a thing

[TH-xozx]

is it me or did the reinforce the joint?

[randomguy]

So he has to think about what he wants it to do or is it just like an arm where he just does it and the arm responds

[Stunda_]

does this work for people who were born without lims? I have a friend who was born without part of his left arm, just under his elbow (so he still has his elbow but his arm ends there). would this also work for people like him?

[nicholoscaudillo]

A breakthrough as great as antibiotics😂

[AndreeaCe]

Had the kids that were mutilated by his team received something similar?

[kmartin]

they need to have flesh made for these so they stop having these bony robotic arms while the other arm is fat and flesh.
