Prosthetic Arm Engineer Easton LaChappelle | Luminaries

- Опубліковано 16 бер 2015
- In Luminaries, the first original series from Uproxx, we discover some of the most fascinating people in science and technology. We set out to tell you about what they’re making and how it’s revolutionary. Plus, the creative process and the inspiration behind it. For example, 19-year-old Easton said his prosthetic arm came about because he met a little girl using a limb that cost $80,000, and it struck him as far too much. The average prosthetic limb costs $60,000 and Easton was able to build a fully functioning prototype for $350.

Holy crap.
This is too amazing. I just sat watching with my jaw open the whole time.
Thank you Easton. Thank you for sharing your brilliance.
It's great that this kid did this from what seems to be purely the goodness of his heart without really trying for a profit. That he made it open-sourced compounds that idea. What an intelligent, good person.
We definitely asked for this.
+Tim Timsen yup coz everyone want to be bigboss or winter soldier lol
This is awe inspiring.
*Thanks, **Augustine Landeros**. It most certainly is.*
Humanity at its finest !
this guy just become one of my favourite humans.
dope bread!
This was an awesome choice of content to post, these kind of people are changing the world!
Or their garage at least.
Thanks, RPTroop.
What a great role model and hero for young people. This is who we should be uplifting, not the Kardashians.
That is a great thought, I wish I thought of your thought because of how true it is.
Now, that is a comment which should break the internet.
Kim Kardashian is more popular than Easton for doing absolutely nothing. Just let that soak in.
Right now we think this is amazing technology, in 20 years we will be like, "look how old fashioned that thing is!"
in order for this to happen in 20 years guys like him must create this technology
its already old fashioned I can't believe people think this is so revolutionary, so many people have been doing this for years and there are already one that can feel by send signals from sensors on prosthetic fingertips to there mind.
yeah and you have to sell 3 livers to get one hand but this guy focused on making it cheap
John Peace Didn't realize you replied anyway, its easy to make it cheap if his is so shit the things you guys don't understand about the 30-50,000 dollar prosthetic hand's is that they have stronger and faster motors and more advanced signal reading, plus much more durable materials while his is just some shitty plastic and mini servo motors and fishing line that anyone can make.
Ikr
This is awesome, I remember when I was in elementary school he was in my hometown newspaper for winning the middle school science fair. I wondered what would happen with his research. Go Easton!
That was really cool. Looking forward to more stuff from this series.
Chris Nieves Thanks, we will be releasing more from this series very soon.
Nothing short of amazing. Outstanding!
You are a credit to the human race. God bless you for your generosity.
Great work sir, very inspiring.
OMG! just amazing. I have no words for this
This is absolutely incredible! The fact that he was able to create a prosthetic hand move like a real one with only a thought is awe inspiring. The kind of technology we have today truly amazes me. I can't wait for what the future has in store for us.
Great idea! Amazing solution!
Well done
he's so awesome i watched him in figure it out show and i searched for him.its inspiring.btw i like his eyes ,its the first think i noticed when i saw him
you are amazing inspiration
This is some of the coolest news I have heard in a long time.
Amazing keep it up Easton
Well done,sir.
This is beatiful!
Hats off to this guy it's people like him that are revolutionizing the prosthetic limb industry, and making the big hit companies look inferior.
Wow this is super cool!
Give this man all the likes. "Hey I have a billion dollar idea, but who cares? I'll open source it so more people can benefit from it!"
Also take the 2 people who disliked the video so far a new planet to move to.
I am 75 now and have been engineering all my life. I had such passion when I was 18. and that of a endless creator. however in 1965, I could not film my accomplishment and post them on UA-cam, as the black and white TV was the only UA-cam of it's day.
This gives me hope for humanity, that perhaps we still have enough in us to help another person
increible, un genio
Now this Is smart. Fantastic idea.
Do they have a donation page?
Amazing
does anyone know what the projected interface was from the computer?
Respect
that's incredible
My faith in humanity has been restored. Amazing.
Fantastique , Merci à toi, tu es un exemple :) !!!
Why the hell do people dislike this video? It's inspiring.
Please, what name of sensor at 1"26 ?
Well, there's truly something wrong in the world when kids do not grow up to follow the path of an inventor like Easton LaChappelle.
+UPROXX, where can I contact Easton?
Where can I fine one Im trying to buy one.
A lot of people have been asking about this video recently.
josedrpok
UPROXX I can change the world
natsu dragneel I want to meet this group and ask them for help!
Pretty awesome.
A link to his website or where the open source material is would be helpful.
nvm it's www.unlimitedtomorrow.com
Cool inspiring
Bravo,
You realized the Neurosky device you use in the video can only detect focusing or relaxing, right? Nice work btw.
are these can be applied to make prosthetic leg too? i mean the software and such?
sorry for my bad english
+ibenk rinanto While the design he has is for an arm it's really just a matter of time until this is made for other parts of the body including the leg if it hasn't already been done.
This man is the real life Iron-man. Our future looks bright.
How can I buy 1 ?? I'm missing my right hand due to bone cancer thank you.... San Antonio Texas
Wow cool
Pls how can I join your company? I plan on studying bioengineering for my masters. Tho I don't know if that's possible
god bless u
used to go to school with this kid
John Connor working on "Skynet" ...
My faith in humanity grew a little today :)
Alright....
What the heck.
How can one person be so awesome that they gave out the design and software of revolutionary technology FOR FREE?
Dr Salk would be proud
Hi - just wanting to bring to your attention an ad that comes up on UA-cam for Buzz B Gone that has stolen (?) a lot of content from this video. Since I personally know someone in this video and they show up in a clip in the ad, I am wondering if they have permission to use the content.
I must say that this guy is the real deal he is the show I say if anybody's played deus ex human revolution or mankind divided he is the male version of the character Megan reed you are awesome dude
To those of you who think this is some revolutionary prosthetic arm that can read your mine, these have been around since 1964. Also many other people have made similar things and for those that think that his can do more than big companies look at the BeBionic3 and the I-Limb Ultra. But to be honest he did do a decent job making it so cheap and giving a amputee his first prosthetic.
Liam Callaghan I'm sure those mines have exhausted by now. We need prosthetic arms that can read oil rigs ;)
If that was true prostheic arms would of been widely available to the point it's selling in Wal-Mart stores putting indie pa&ma stores out of business.
***** No they wouldnt because they arent,all because people are greedy and want money.
I dont want to ruin the 143 comments.. but yeah
Easton for modern Einstein
Help humanity 🙏
Do Josh Wolf, he created biodiesel in his backyard from algae
I want this limb because I don't have right hand.
What's next? Prosthetic limb replacement just like in bo3? That'd be pretty awesome if it would be that advanced IRL
+Ben Ryder I see, but at the same time you never know how advanced it will get in the future
He better be carefulSmart+a big heart & wise. Some greedy company might try and take him out sadlyI hope this gets more coverage he deserves it
He 's A GENIUS!😃 FUCKIN GENIUS! SHIT HOW OLD IS HE??!
Shout out to star wars
and I'm 8yrs old
Excuse me while I'll go get myself an axe.
I have a paralyzed arm ha I'd chop it off for one of these
solid snake
l want this for my left hand
I came here because of our module. lmao
Deus Ex: Human Revolution here we come
Mgsv here we go
+Michael Rosales kept you waiting huh?
+EliTroyer I never asked for this.
THe machine sencor must be made of organic matter , somehow it can connect to our brain directly and recieve brain pulses and convert to computer language
I hate it when people bring all their attention to how a celebrity looks while other are creating robotic limbs that ACTUALLY change people's lives not clothes
Now use electrodes because the flex sensors aren't going to do anything for them.
Oh by the way Ms Gregory is still teaching here as a science teacher... She always talks about you...
this is how dues ex starts in the real world
someone tell me this isnt a joke pls
... If it can be used to play video games, I would be happy.
... But until then, I still have both of my hands, and I don't intent to lose them (well, I hope I don't lose them).
"created for 350usd"? How many man-hours went into R&D?
He looks like Kootra
Arduino :D
push this in the army make a suit
3:37
Fucking. Gangster.
This is awesome what they're doing. but it's irrational to think that the big hitters can't feasibly make a cheaper prosthetic limb. Especially with all their additional resources. Competition always drives costs down though. So while they wont knock the other players out, hopefully they can keep them from bending over those with missing limbs.
Gearz86 Screw the competition. Competition will be the end of us all. Making the prostheses cheaper will make it affordable for people who normally can't afford them. We need to work together as a species if we are to achieve anything.
iron lad
This is great but by demonitizing his company he is inherently setting back the development by such a large margin. It would have been better if it remained at a very accessible price point like 2-3 tgousand dollars per unit.
The CC on this video is HORRIBLE! Either being done by computer (bad computer) or completely non-English speakers.
The auto subtitle program on UA-cam has been like this for years.
whats next ? irom man suit
Yea just what I thought,like Iron Man in the movie working on the hand.
its already in progess guys
***** No. Praxis kits are next.
Kai Ayers Fuck yes. I take it you're stoked for Mankind Divided? I've cleared my schedule for like a month after it's released lol
Soon there will be cobyrgs like me.
and also want to make a difference
The next steve jobs?
Yeah, stealing ideas, improving them, and claiming pioneering status of said idea.
I bet the prosthetic industry is getting scared
