Esper Hand is a "human-like" prosthetic arm that can be controlled by the mind
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- New York-based engineering startup Esper Bionics has developed a flexible prosthetic mind-controlled hand that learns how to suggest the best grip faster than similar prosthetics.
Esper Bionics' robotic arm is designed to be lighter and learn faster than many of the prosthetics currently available for amputees. The more the wearer uses the hand, the better and quicker it is to suggest the right grip.
Called Esper Hand, the arm uses an electromyography-based brain-computer interface (BCI) - a computer-based technology system that gathers brain signals and information from nerve stimulation of the muscle.
Over 30 sensors on the wearer's forearm and shoulder skin pick up on this muscle activity or "electrical cues" and relay the information to trigger an action in the hand.

I knew someone was going to post this. Well done.
These prosthetics are just a few steps away from the sci fi prosthetics , from movies to shows. Props to the engineers
I think the main difference is there's still no sense of touch. Sci-Fi prosthetics can feel touch. :)
I hope metal gear rising cyborg prosthetics come soon
It's getting there bit by bit but i can still tell that the arm has a lot of ground to cover before it can be 1:1 with a meat arm.
For one thing wrist movements are very limited
I feel like the model demo-ing the product is having to put in a bit of effort to make the hand take the proper shape.
When cutting the apple the action looked strange and unnatural because the model is doing all the cutting strength with her nubbin. A proper robotic prosthesis should be able to replicate things cutting using your wrist muscles.
We're not there yet but... we're getting closer.
@@Trifler500 go search "prosthetic technology", we can feel touch now.
Regards to the wars...
@@Trifler500 Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell, is a complete cyborg, she says that doesn't feel anything, only her ghost, this mean, her mind, it's not necessary feel everything.
This is incredible.
Great job to the engineers.

I really hope this helps some people feel better about receiving a prosthetic, we live an age that technology can basically just give us a new limb, it’s very inspiring to see
Cyberpunk 2077
As long as this tech is used to compensate for amputations and other permanent injuries it will help
I dont believe general prostethics are like this. we are still on the cusp. this is tech of the future.
It’s nice but its probably only affordable for a select few.
@@red_swan_ Yeah, I did think about that. Obviously something like that costs for sure.
This is remarkable. This type of technology only gets better with time to give the wearer an even more true to life experience like using a biological limb. Thanks to companies like Esper who are working on this. It gives hope to amputees world wide. I also hope it won’t be as expensive to access.
To kill you in the future to
If its new utll probably be expensive for some time untill they can make more
@@doom5895 True…..unfortunately that’s how it goes. Hopefully insurance will cover the cost, depending on the circumstances that led to the loss of a hand. Or maybe alternative funding through Gofundme etc.
If things keep going like this soon i'll want to be an amputee and get all sorts of crazy limbs
@@caralho5237 Like a cyborg, lol…..nah, you wouldn’t want that.
When humans decide to work for the benefit of humanity, we get things like this. Congratulations to all involved, truly amazing!
We’ve been doing that since the dawn of time.
Even tools of war are made for your benefit, even if you don’t understand it, and that’s just the most extreme example.
na, thats just for the money, no one will benefit from that because its to expensive anyway
i hope it is made available to those who dont have the money to pay for it. instead of being just a privilege for the rich.
@@tomecrespo3047 Any form of non-mainstream product is expensive because they are often either handmade or in a prototype stage. Mass production is needed, but for that you need a bigger budget, this is why you raise awareness so other innovative companies can have a look and maybe invest to create that mass production. Then it will get cheaper.
@@sabin97 Get economy classes and learn about products before you make stupid claims like that.
Esper. Short for Esperanza. Spanish for Hope.
Judging by the numerous comments about amputees and their reaction to this video, I’d say it’s pretty fitting.
Esper means psychics
Esper
noun
A person supposed to have paranormal abilities.
XD Mi hermano, me gusta tu definicion pero estas botao
@@odis12356 Yes, since one can control the prosthetic with the mind, hence the name Esper. I just saw a fitting alternate take on the name and how there are quite a few comments of hope regarding this technology after losing (or never having) a normal part of their body.
I take care of new amputees of lower extremities from diabetic complications and it's not uncommon for one of their first reactions to be one of dread and hopelessness because a part of their own body is forever missing. Prosthetics that can mimic the function of the real counterpart, controlled by the mind, is extremely hopeful to amputees because it inches them closer to the normalcy they remembered, or never had. Hope.
This is a really sweet take on the word esper, though originally it was from the slang ESPer; ESPer is Extrasensory Perception with the -er addition to signify an individual in possession of such abilities.
I don’t think that’s what the intention was, but I do like your take on it
Metal gear solid 5 the phantom pain, now in vr
We have no commments yet probably because this video rendered people speechless. However, I couldn't help but notice that it's the same video uploaded in 2020. I would love to know what has changed since then. Nonetheless, it's still very impressive, congratulations to all the engineers involved in the project.
I was thinking the exact same thing... What has changed...?
As someone who used prosthetic arms during their whole childhood (stopped due to finding them too clunky), this... honestly doesn’t look much better.
Technologically superior, absolutely (mine where essentially just claws), but still quite clunky and unflexible.
I hope they’re supposed to be affordable, because then it’s understandable. If not, this is quite bad...
We are far from sci-fi agilité of prothèses. But yet that's really impressive to see the fierce and the little moves we can have with these. And the good news is that there à lot of possibilities to progress. Very exciting !
This prosthetic is really damn close though. There’s been so much progress in the dexterity prosthetics offer in the last half decade.
@@mikedevyatov3213 you're right. There is 50 years, we were with wooden leg, and now we have prosthetics with pretty good dexterity, fierce and even synaptic returns. But 50 years in science is like à little kid. There is a lot of possibilities of progress if we are ok to hiver money in research.
@Mike Devyatov far from close tbh. The speed of an actual arm is decades ahead.
Frenchie spotted.
@@vaalence9043 frenchie + auto-correct
Very distracted by her humanoid beauty.
Ik right she can grab on me pretty good with that hand 🍆✋🏻😜
Imagine in 2030 or 2040 where the arm is more advanced, like wider wrist movements and silent joints for the fingers.
You don't write your own speeches, huh?
Wait till 2077

@@Animasterpro getting punched is life threatening already someone with that could kill police
I'd want mine to be like the MGS5 hand Snake has. That's the sort of thing people can be a little jealous of.
I'm just thinking about how outrageously expensive that'll be😭
You gotta have to trade another body part to put this bad boy on
love watching these! not only cool to watch but also awesome to see how far prosthetics have come
agreed and to think what the tecknology will look like in 10 or 20 years from now.
@@Janbore probably something more along the lines of Cyberpunk 2077 in terms of performance
@@Janboreby then having biological arms might be a disadvantage compare to robotic arms
Brought tears to my eyes when she started brushing her hair. Simply amazing
the wrist needs more range of motion. It needs to be able to bend 90° to the front 45° to the back, left, and right. then the movement when controlling it will feel much more natural.
I agree entirely, id also believe the amount time to learn to use it would sky rocket as it would be far more intricate for the mind the concentrate on what it does
Apparently the video is from 2020 originally. So it's probably better by now
it also needs to shoot lasers
It's just startup
and the fingers, i hope theres a type of robotic arm that has fingers that move in all the angles we move ours
As a kid I was a fan of The Six Million Dollar Man tv show. Never thought I would actually something like this become reality. Looking forward to see the technology progress further.
That is incredible…. Even with the limited control and dexterity it’s range of ability just blows me away.
Aww I loved seeing her smile
Make me a sammich woman
So amazing. Now that they have progressed this far, just imagine how far this technology will advance in the next 20-30 years. After 16 months from a botched (in my opinion) carpal tunnel release surgery, that prosthetic hand has much more control and dexterity than mine.
I'd say 10 years from now it'll work like a real human limbs. Our technology innovation is exponential.
Tomara que esse tipo de tecnologia evolua cada vez mais para quem precisa ...
Had 8+ surgeries on my left hand, can't even straighten my fingers or make a solid fist. People question why I would cut off my hand. It's because I know stuff like this will one day be available and I can have 2 functional hands instead of just 1.
Fake. It's not controlled by the mind but by an app. It senses how it needs to grab things based on the objects.
It is great but stop misleading people.
Im a big tech nerd and i was just thinking to myself how much we had advanced in the last 50 years and i was a little upset that our robotics and computer stuff hasn't advanced more than it already has. Im very picky when it comes to tech and im not easily impressed. And then i saw this... and seeing her smile at 0:45 makes me feel like we area really getting somewhere
Tech progress is crazy, just in a few years we went from 24nm chips to 5-6nm, this is totally wizardry.
And that's just one example, although one of the fundamental ones.
But yeah, controlling a robotic arm is something else. I wonder when we'll get tactile feedback (and would it be dangerous, because it could send a strong signal to your nervous system and that's pain).
@@cjnf11 We actually already have limited tactile feedback for some prosthetics, but they're not in common circulation just yet. They're also not quite at the level of natural human limbs, but I imagine they'll get there eventually.
A big tech nerd who hadn't heard of the work being done in robotics and prosthetics until seeing this video? Adds up.
@@mydogeatspuke yeah and your username sure reflects intelligence
@@joefries365 lol my username is factually accurate, and utterly hilarious. Don't be jealous.
I really do wonder what their ad campaign people advertised for. "looking for a hot girl with 1 arm"
That has to be the most nerve wrecking hand job in the world 😳
Outta this world 😍
Cursed comments never cease to surprise me
Not if you are right handed.🤫😂😂
I don't want to be negative but that arm isn't even half interactive as the original one.
I really wish they make a better ones soon.
Very cool! Looks so interesting! Is it expensive? How strong is it?
It is probably more expensive then your rent for a month. And the strength is about 8 pounds. Anything higher then that and it will break. Nothing special about that. And that is not including the fact that above 8 pounds the chances of that thing popping off are becoming pretty huge too. This is amazing! But we still have a long way too go
"Is it expensive"???
definitely expensive without insurance
@@Da-Butchar everything you said was false. You literally made that all up. Why?
@@hayden8693 trolls… that’s why.
This is too cool. I hope the technology gets more accessible and afforable quickly. The dexterity is amazing and such a far departure from the weird flesh toned arms that didnt help their wearers actually function better
What do you mean by "controlled by the mind" ? How exactly does the device obtain control signals ?
From shooting ultrasounds into remaning muscle ends it can detect nerv signals inside from the reflected sounds. Like muscle echolocation
The only problem I have with newer and older prosthetics is how slow the joint motors are. They need to be faster like real joints
Watching this makes me think of all the wasted energy humans spend on other things. We could be living in space by now. Well done to these folk. Important things being done here. How it gets used will be the only concern for me. People making crazy modded versions etc mixed with 3d printing. Interesting time to be alive.
Sorry bro, it's more important to protect anal sex in the ukraine and babysit africans.
Indeed as long as humanity, dont cross the red line that is a possible for nuclear extinction could be a possibility in this present time we live in or in the future.
I hope we just stay in peace ...and obviously, work together as an intelligent species and the technology we have would drastically improve better and better. And i hope at some near future, we get to achieve as an interstellar civilization just as you said it. 👍
The most important question is, can I use it on my boyfriend's you-know-what without making a pulp of him?
💀
This guy made his own mechanical hand... But he only lost fingers. Maybe if they could make them more mechanical like his
It fits her body and tone so well, it looks like she’s just wearing a glove. Truly amazing technology.
The usability aspect is great, but I think that if the depth of color changes depending on the temperature when picking up a cold or warm item, a more wonderful use will be realized.
What happens if some villain gets hackin' the arm via cellphone???😁
(Just jokin',I think it's a good step to Evolution)
I'm a barber and my boss only has one arm below the elbow. He's really good with one arm I can only imagine if he had this
He can get the scissor attachment and go full Edward Scissorhands! ✂️😁👍
Lmfao they changed the thumbnail...
I still remember it was a seductive image of this woman...😆
Just remember to not make these arms too good, or else people will start wanting to replace their organic ones and it will increase the price for people that actually need it
If someone wants to voluntarily amputate themselves to get a prosthetic, they need to get their brain check instead not their limbs
What's her instagram? A friend is asking
SHE CAN EXERCISE WITH THE ARM! YEEEEEEEAH
Please buy and incorporate the technology of the robotic arm of Clone (the realistic muscular anroid), it's way more realistic and natural, but kudos to you and your existing tech of hand, it looks very hard to even get this working and to achieve what you achieved so far.
I love all the attachments...I would love a leaf blower and garden tiller attachment as well as a nice fishing pole.
There’s a dildo attachment you would like
It looks like the response time is slow compared with the normal hand. Is it because the data processing is slow, like the instructions in CPU are being processed slower than what is anticipated ?. Is the prothetic arm function works in streaming way like streaming ideas from the brain through nerves throughout the prothetic arms ?. If its true, Is the main slow issue is the slow streaming ideas in the prothetic arm ?
She's cute 😍
frankly speaking, this is still really, really far from what we'd all like it to be.
Why do people like you exist. Celebrate the achievements and focus on the future. Don't be a downer right out the gate
Some amputees attach a hooked stick to their stump and continue every hobby they did with 2 hands. Imagine what you could do with a prosthetic you can grab onto things with. You can hold tools with both hands, open bottles with your hand, carry heavy things and many other things you can think of.
wait for a decade ;)
We know that you want Deus Ex. But he careful what you wish for.
BUT WERE CLOSER THEN EVER AND ITS AMAZING :D
limb transplants already work, so there is no need for cheap plastic copies. In the near future, these transplants won't need anti rejection medicine because we will simply clone the limbs.
Meu sonho, mas se depender das condições financeiras pra próxima vida quem sabe .....
It's never like your real hand 😥
Being in the profession I’m in this is fantastic to see, not just for people with traumatic amputations (ie blown of by a bomb) but for anyone else who has had to suffer an amputation for any reason!!
One day we will have prosthetics that are seamless and without flaws. I see so many benefits to a limb that can withstand the elements and essentially negate any dangers from hazards. It would be like a super power!
Winter soldier?
@@yamete_kudasai6969ikr
@@yamete_kudasai6969 i was thinking the same lmao
It looks like a mind control but it's what they call Proportional Myoelectric Control, there are sensors connected to your body nerves and muscles, they receive what they call myoelectric signals and there's a program to translate them in the movement it thinks you're trying to do. Their accuracy depends on their ability to translate those signals into the movement you're thinking to do, so it looks like you got a full mind control over them :) The next step in these applications is gonna be to get through that and to look for a nervous system connection from the brain more than the body muscles
The more i see these videos... The more I'm grateful to the natural, fully functional organs I'm born with. Thanking god. And i hope one day we could master to make one near to those.
Hey she cant accidentally slice her finger off cutting fruit!
Lol
Yeah, it's great, if you have a shitload of money and great insurance anything is possible

I used to see robotic arms as badass because of shows and some animes now I just see there really are a disadvantage
@@Nature-556 theyre a disadvantage for now, within a couple decades the technology will probably be seemless

It's magic probably
If servo motors can produce less sound it would feel so natural to the user. It's super cool though😃
So far as I can see, the only real drawback is that now her partner is constantly asking her to help open the lids on pickle jars!😏
In all seriousness, it’s wonderful seeing that the technology is starting to evolve from ‘slightly useful’ to ‘truly functional.’ 🤗
Needs one more servo for the forearm to twist.
Incredible looking product, gorgeous even. Where can I buy one? The arm is cool too.
Not one person in the comments asking about the price lol probably so expesive youll never see anyone in daily life wearing one
TAKE MY ARMS AND GIVE ME THESE
I mean it’s good relative to prosthetics but it would be hell to live life with these
Appreciate your arms more buddy:>
I know it looks amazing and it's incredible helpful for today's generation but having your real arms is something to be grateful for and for people who don't have arms you guys should be more grateful for fake arms that exist so you can at least do things again by your own little fellas
@@ThaTrisme its a joke
I'm just here for the single lady with the bionic arm.
Tetsuo shima would be proud.
Indeed.
I bet that most of the people in the comments who are complaining about how it's expensive have gone to college or own a car, because this is way cheaper than both of those things...
I tend to have alot of random intrusive thoughts. Like if i were to pick up that soda my mind would be like “what if we just dropped it rn or threw it” would my prosthetic arm be like “ight bet, *drop*” but then immediately regret dropping it💀
Or do you have to like think about hard. Im intrigued by the “mind controlled” aspect.
Stop making weapons of mass destruction and make more of these robotics prosthesis for the people 🙏
Holy shit. Those arms could be better than Human Arms in 20 or 30 years
HIGH TIME I CHROMED THE FUCK UP
No it never could
Can you upgrade it to like have more power in squishing etc etc
I’m not a amputee and I’m thankful for that however I am intrigued by the innovation of prosthetic technology. I for one am glad to see that a lot of these companies are focusing on usability and not putting much thought into trying to make them look real or lifelike, I think society wise we’ve gotten away from trying to hide disfigurement and that’s helped to further not only normalizing people who suffer from these injuries or who’ve been born with such defects but also made the technology progress away from the “pirate hooks” and silicone rubber “dummy hands”. Also can’t get over how cool these artificial limbs look even if that’s not the intention, if I was in an accident which I hope to not be but that’s why it’s called an “accident” I’d want to have something that looks like this to show off, not something to be self conscious about, we really are progressing into cyborg technology I’d bet in 30-40 years from now we’ll see artificial limbs with nerve receptors that can sense pain and be totally lifelike with skin tissue, something that was fantasy 50 years ago and shown in films like Star Wars.
The fact that things like these actually exist blows my mind...
Of course there is no limit to what man can create but this blows my mind...
That reminds me of something that I saw a few months ago here in South Beach :
I was out running errands early in the morning and all of a sudden I saw a guy running on the sidewalk with VERY THIN prostheses which I suppose were carbon fiber...
The man had nothing below both knees other than those artificial parts but he was running SO FAST...Much faster than I could ever run with my legs...And I really am athletic...
That's insane humans are advanced this far where now we can provide missing limbs for yourself and it actually works
Its actually very nice contribution for humans who are specially abled... At least this will help them in their life.... God bless those people who invented this.....
Imagine this technology in another decade or two
this is awesome, can't understate the feat that this is. the next step I hope will be to incorporate flexion, extension, left/right deviation, supination and pronation into the wrists. those movements of the wrist and forearm place an incredible amount of mobility in what our hands and fingers are actually capable of. a part of me believes a simple clamp mechanism for the hand combined with full wrist and forearm mobility would be a more useful prosthetic if the choice had to be made between that or full finger function. I'm sure in time we will begin to see this become the norm, as alot of the movements of the ankles have been incorporated in robotic lower leg prosthetics and it's a very similar anatomical mechanism. exciting stuff! can't wait for the next step in this! I'm sure the hardest aspect is linking it with the mind, incredible feat in technology!
Edit: I see now that the wrist does rotate, accomplishing the equavalent of wrist supination and pronation, still would like to see more of the movements that come from the wrist itself.
FULL METAL ALCHEM-
okay, i’ll leave.
Love this machine❤ I hope this tech gets more developed so that every ppl could use it daily. My father lost both of his hand few years ago so I was dreaming to have this kind of arms which it looks brilliant 🎉
From the moment I understood the weakness of My flesh it disgusted me.
Cyborgs are coming ❤❤❤❤❤💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🫡
Amazing. I’ve always saw myself creating artist concepts for replacement limbs when the tech became available. It’s happening sooner than I thought.
Damn that’s cool, but why would u cut an apple like this?

I've always been so inspired by the amputees I've known in my life and how resilient they chose to become. They truly deserve something like this.
They didn't choose to be resilient lmao. They had to be. Because what's the alternative? Give up? Continuing to find ways to survive isn't inspiring, it's life.
