I just hope that it uses a usb-c connection to charge it rather than micro

This is outstanding.

I do have a request of you young guys who are still not fully committed to a career choice. I suggest you try to get in on this biomechanical technology. We need more of our people working on the cutting edges of technology and medicine. We can't continue to be dependent on other ethnicities for these things, because there may come a time when they decide to only hoard such technologies for themselves.

My soon to be Brother in law is deep into this and one of the richest Black men doing it. I am probably gonna pivot my training to AI with my other items soon as this week. I've been focus on making my skill set better but I need to do more to go to a new industry

joint malfunction and kung foo grip ya dikk while u beating off SOMEBODY GET THIS OFF MY dikk HAAALALLLPPP MY dikk FINNA ERUPT FROM DA PRESSUREEEEEE HAAAAAAAAALLPPPPPPPP

Offtopic, but if it uses ai to find the best possible gripping position, then it might actually be better than your hand . That device could use angles and pressure differentials that a normal human arm could never achieve


Not necessarily this application, but in grad school there was a major debate among the grad students and our advisors on whether the goal of cybernetics is to match lost functionality, or to improve it.



What do i mean here?

Spoiler

Imagine a guitarist loses his arm in a wood chipper. Then an engineer creates him a cybernetic arm. Do you think that guitarist would be happy with a normal 5-fingered arm that strums at a regular human speed? Or do you think he would prefer an arm that can strum at twice human speeds allowing him to play more chords and make more beautiful music than humanly possible?

This is the difference between a patient that is coping, and a patient that is thriving. There isnt that much of a cost difference between both versions because the hardware is usually capable of more.


Its just a matter of the embedded programmer's mindset when he is tuning the device.
