I wish I can have one. Edir: acctually 2
Ok now I'll use Adblock thanks.
Can u help people in India if possible send no it would b great of of thkz
Why would you SELL science and technology and STEM education? 😡😡👎🏽👎🏽
This man really added pinky toe sensors so he can still stub his toe on his bionic foot
Commitment
now he just needs to step on lego
No pain No gain
Its useful to know if you just kicked the child or a cat or put a hole in the wall with your new superhuman strength.

plot twist: it's the lego's time to suffer. the sensation is of crushing it to dust. vengance.

Lol more like the cyborgs will be robbing regular people and being able to run away as fast as a car because they have bionic legs
And then you fire rockets from your legs that take the robbers out.

Something is wrong if he doesn't have a 007 or MIB cricket built into the toes in a high crime area. (;
"Oh, don't touch it, those are live wires" definitelly sounds like engineer :D This is absolutelly amazing. Thanks to people like this guy we are closer to world without suffering.
though i have mad respect for the guy but Holy Hell ,Hugh Herr's entry at 2:38 is like that of a future business overlord
Hugh Herr is a fellow to be taken seriously... :)
Very true
He sounds like he is going to start some sort of army
"This is it"
I so hope he never covers those prosthetic, the way he walked in with that power stride showing the double amputation was just inspiring, if he had his pants rolled down you would never know he did not have the lower portion of his legs. he owned it.
i wonder if people with prosthetic legs can increase their height to like 7 ft long lol
The fact that he managed to get sensation back is incredible. I feel like that's the biggest step in bionics is not just getting signals out, but getting them back.
@WillRQ I hope that people using them for combat will be in the minority
@WillRQ why the „but“?
@WillRQ just have a switch for on off
I’m in amputee and let me tell you something you don’t ever lose the sensation I could feel my toes just like they were there
@@dominicstocker5144 thats such an american thought
Making these things possible for his son must be an infinite pool of motivation.
Yes, the power of that hit me when he spoke about his son being born with the club foot too. It reminded me of a body builder who was able to smash a dead lift record by thinking of pulling the coffin of his recently passed mother up from the grave and wanting her to be restored to life. Deep inspiration is very powerful.
He said the science cought up and they're able to correct it it now. So his son will not have a prosthetic
Early orthopedic intervention now corrects club foot deformity. (Temporary Casts and braces)
@@michaelatkin9649 best case.
no one watched the video well enough to know his son didn't need the robot leg
Absolutely amazing engineering. Hopefully we can refine this technology, waterproof it, figure out a long term power solution and make it affordable to the average person some day.
Arc reactor maybe😂
@@stockmarketblueprint Someone should lock you in a cave and not let you out until you have a prototype :)

It's the affordable part that is a killer. I am a bilateral below the knee amputee and my non bionic
prosthetics which do have servos cost $64K, about twice as much as the non servoed limbs.
Plus I had to get the new legs approved by an insurance company.
@@f4ephantom 64000$ ? ну это очень много конечно, с другой стороны альтернатива только - инвалидное кресло.
even with all the exposed wires and stuff it looks so much more natural in movement than other prosthetics out there. thats amazing
Exposed wires can get caught in anything and then be ripped, if brushed up against objects.
That is a problem that could easily be solved by adding some sort of plastic casing.
@@pinklady7184 It is a prototype, he is working on it. You don't close it up till the work is done
@@helleyequeue And even then there's always improvements to be made
The exposed wires probably aren't ideal from a longevity point of view, but aesthetically I found it really intriguing.
This guy: sits dumbfounded
His mentor: You do realize this is MIT right?
lol lol lol
He already knew about these prosthetics.
lmao yea
theres nothing like a REAL leg or foot take care people
i know under certain circumstances its only possible to make best of what has happened
but if you can. exercise daily. im only 23 so im not in a position to tell anybody what to do. this is only my opinion
@@dewmontain123 there's also accidents and misfortune (e.g. natural disaster, terrorist attack), or being born with a condition like the guy in the video. Not everything can be prevented with exercise.
As a father I thoroughly understand and appreciate.
As an engineer I'm thoroughly amazed.
Agreed on both points.

@@TheDetonadoBR What are you talking about?
Sir price india
I'm disabled and look forward to the day when these kinds of prosthetics are commonplace. I have not had an amputation but I have a hereditary condition that causes significant pain and loss of mobility. I would have this procedure in a heartbeat if it meant I could do physical activities again.

(hopefull look)
They are often arrogant tho, kinda like most modern farmers.
Just the fact that they had a sensor to be able to bend the foot amazed me then they say you can touch where your pinky toe would be and you can actually feel it as if it were there? Wow that is that is just ridiculously amazing

"those are live wires" ... proceeds to touch them anyways. Kids are hilarious
I was showing a kid a battery and how it sparked and told him if he kept doing it it might light on fire. He kept doing it for like a minute after lol.
Cracked me up
"Great, dead wires would be sad anyway :)"
Imagine if he touched the connections, dude would litterally feel his little toe when not even close to it
@@lengaming1651 imagine having a "smart" IoT compatible foot (it'll happen eventually lol 😔), and then someone hacks it to make you feel max intensity tickling on loop until you turn it off or hopefully just hit a reset or disable touch switch (or setting in an app on your phone).

Ok
Educated people

@@TheDaxter11 I believe he said it was a black bear, which usually don't confront humans. He probably ran due to fear, thus causing him to sharply press his foot against the hard rock and break it. The bear probably just wandered off, I hope.

@Ribshok Productions suxk you own puss*
In ten years this technology will receive the same innovations as cellphones in that they will try a prosthetic which instead of several buttons controlling specific spots, there will be a sort of touch screen for your prosthetic. A prosthetic able to provide more accurate and acute sensation. The same way analog phones switched to touch phones, just with prosthetics.
Nah the future is complete limb regeneration

The fact that he could feel the son touching his robotic foot as if it was he's ACTUAL foot it's amazing
He can feel specific points on his foot, in the future hopefully it advances enough that people would be able to feel the whole foot as if it is there. It is amazing though but its only the begining

@@mistercohaagen I don't know... There seems to be one Mister Yang trying to make it that way, but, science is an objective process of information analysis, not self-centered nor altruistic. All the fallacies of our society seem based on sociopathic tendencies of people with too many resources and time already on their hands. Obviously they are a minority, even among other lucky people, but I don't see any way of overriding their destructive influence,-other than banding together over state and national lines. Seeing as how their cancerous ways have spread all over the planet.
Only thing negative about this are the greedy corporate companies that will exploit this for personal gain
@@kekkaisenn6497 Yeah... I'm not done donating to Yang yet, and started right after his JRE appearance. I was an automation engineer / sysadmin, and I dropped out of the commercial workforce to do NPO stuff. Seems like any corporation you can work for large or small, only seems to contribute to our decline as a species through some wasteful nonsensical traditional way of doing things. I figure I can at least not give them my brain and hands voluntarily. Seems the only moral thing to do; civil disobedience of a sort. Oddly enough I seem to contribute more to the household just doing things like maintaining the house itself and keeping the cars running instead of paying someone to do it wastefully. I'm reading about how to grow veg in the yard next summer, etc. Anything to offset the money that would've been spent on more waste. We are slaves, but we can sit it out if we're prepared to deal with poverty. It's not so bad, especially with an Internet connection. I feel a lot healthier, that's for sure. Might even live longer.

Yes brother you are right !
None of this was even conceivable just 20 years ago. Imagine how far this will go.
I'd much rather lose a leg than an arm. Replacement legs look much farther along than arms.
@divorcedme imagine how fast these limbs would advance if they were necessary to car manufacturing or commerce.
hmm tbh i would say arms are much farther then legs by a mile stone, legs are so much simple in comparison. what i will say how ever is due to arms being so much more complex they are less seen or made
yeah, there are far less important nerves that control leg function, and are easier to find/narrow down
Its cause its harder to make parts of whats left of your arm control 5 fingers including different amounts of pressure
I don't see myself going through this time without videogames, so yes, I'd prefer missing a leg than an arm

Also as a former student of robotics, it had always been my desire to one day see the days in which robotics don't necessarily exceed humanity's ability but compliments it.

Hello, what engineering major are you in? 🌹🌹
This was the first time I've seen one of these, and saw the prosthesis, and genuinely feel like it was their limb. Like I saw him, moving what should be his ankle on the chair, with his detached foot reacting and moving a few feet away, genuinely feeling as if that were a connected part of him that was just a few feet away.
