Reality finally catches up with a 1970s sitcom: For 1st Woman With Bionic Arm, a New Life Is Within Reach. Now, Mitchell can peel a banana in a less simian posture. All she has to do is place her prosthetic left arm next to the banana and think about grabbing it. The mechanical hand closes around the fruit and she's ready to peel. Mitchell, who lives in Ellicott City, is the fourth person -- and first woman -- to receive a "bionic" arm, which allows her to control parts of the device by her thoughts alone. Source
wow tecnology is really impressive. I read that the arm has sensors in the torso when a person thinks "close hand" it sends impulses to the muscles and nervs, the sensors get those impulses and transmit to the "eletric arm". incredible! One think though, it must be hard to adapt having a machine replacing an arm
I have read about it in the news paper... Its an amazing achievement, a real life cyborg lol. But guys....Machines are taking over
It's a fantastic achievement, both for the scientists and the lady herself. It must give hope to a lot of people. Good luck to them all.
