The Touch Bionics i-Limb Hand. REMARKABLE!

Some joke around and call it the terminator hand. This is an incredible new piece of technology! One can only imagine, the possibilities. After seeing the end of the vid, how they compare intelligence with dexterity - it makes you wonder, with our current technology and people always at the computer, moving their fingers at hyper-speed hitting individual targets/keys... where we are headed.

This is fantastic!

The world's first commercially available bionic hand has been recognised as one of the top inventions of 2008.

The hands are fitted with a realistic silicone outer skin, which also helps for adding extra grip.

I did some research on it because what got me curious was how can it sense anything... be touch sensitive. Then I found out it doesn't have any senses, but hopefully one day we will get to that point so that the prosthetic device is even more useful. I have had many ideas myself for how to enable this on a prosthetic device - the only problem is getting the money and funding to test out the ideas.

Hope you like the vid. Rate please 5 stars if you liked. People need to know the technology that is out there!

fortunately technology is further than is demonstrated in this video. bionic limbs can now actually directly be controlled by brainwaves, and not indirectly by muscle/nerve sensors.

(apogist) - can you refer me to a source? I know you speak truth I just can't find it anywhere! I remember hearing about it but could never find anything on the topic- I remember it being something from china or germany.

Why not just reprogram the hand so it functions naturally; when he thinks of opening his hand, his hand opens, etc.

In 15 to 20 years it will be Deus Ex O.O

Im so glad im not missing an arm... Imagine all the things you do on a daily basis that is done with two hands, putting your clothes on, buttoning your pants,the zipper on your sweater,putting on a tshirt,tying your shoes,playing console games,typing on a computer,driving and even something as simple as opening a letter. We sure take a lot for granted.

Hey, the constitution says we have the right to keep and bear arms.

engineers could build a machine dexterous enough to do the things a hand can do.... the bigger problem is allowing it to communicate with the brain in some way with the same kind of broadband you get naturally. this video hints at that. you can never do with one of your back muscles what you can do hardwired to your motor cortex. the future of this technology will involve literally, physically, implating sensor plates in the brain and then callibrating the cortex to new signals over time.
