Science is incredible. We should be grateful for these doctors and researchers.

Honestly, as much as a transhumanist as I am (very excited for seeing what the middle bounds of this tech's limits, to say nothing of its upper ones) I really appreciate how Dr. Catalan talks about where he wants his research effort to go. As cool as it is to probe how superhuman we could potentially go with this technology, he's more focused on "what problems in this field have we not yet solved". It seems like he would rather solve a lot of problems to rough biological parity rather than ride one technology to the sci-fi endpoint that a lot of people dream of, and that's admirable.

I remember writing a paper in middle school, in the early 2000s, about how I saw a future where bionic limbs could be controlled by people's nerves. That kind of stuff was barely done back then but a lot of people, even kids like me at the time, were dreaming of the technology. Its so awesome to see it coming to fruition. The major hurdle now is definitely dexterity. Having control over the arm, wrist, and fingers like they showed in the video is amazing, but if it takes too long to do what you want it to it can be frustrating and limiting. If we can get movements down to regular limb speeds then those patients will basically have the same capabilities as they had with their former body parts. If we can get dexterity even faster, its possible they could have capabilities exceeding those they had before!

That feels so Cyberpunky! Love it! I hope everyone that needs a prosthetic limb can get one in the future.

Something most folks don't consider is just how COMPLEX the human hand is. As far as organic tools used to interact with the environment, nothing in the animal kingdom can match the versatility of the human hand. That's why it takes children several years to learn how to use them. Mechanically recreating even half of the hand's functions is a major achievement.

i hope they make this available to everyone

This are awesome news! Thank you for working on this. This gives hope to so many people.

This is absolutely mind-blowing

I'm the type of person to almost never comment anything on the Internet, but I've never been more compelled to say - Bless all the people involved in the development of this technology, and may it be used to impact the lives of many in a positive manner.

This is science fiction made into reality! What an astonishing achievement.
