Still in clinical trials, but imagine when we can connect these, for example, to the amazing bionic limb, such as the DEKA Arm, built by Dean Kamen and colleagues, which has 17 degrees of motion and freedom, and can allow the person who's lost a limb to have much higher dexterity or control than they've had in the past.
This was an issue from 2002 that they published with a lot of different articles on the bionic human.
Rather, I build body parts, bionic legs that augment human walking and running.
But with this advanced bionic technology, I can skip, dance and run.
I'm a bionic man, but I'm not yet a cyborg.
Artificial electrodes sense these signals, and small computers in the bionic limb decode my nerve pulses into my intended movement patterns.
The AMI is a method to connect nerves within the residuum to an external, bionic prosthesis.
Artificial electrodes are then placed on each AMI muscle, and small computers within the bionic limb decode those signals to control powerful motors on the bionic limb.
When the bionic limb moves, the AMI muscles move back and forth, sending signals through the nerve to the brain, enabling a person wearing the prosthesis to experience natural sensations of positions and movements of the prosthesis.
We electrically linked Jim's AMI muscles, via the electrodes, to a bionic limb, and Jim quickly learned how to move the bionic limb in four distinct ankle-foot movement directions.
Here's Jim descending steps, reaching with his bionic toe to the next stair tread, automatically exhibiting natural motions without him even trying to move his limb.
And finally, this bionic structure, which is covered by a transparent biopolymer membrane, will really change radically how we look at aircrafts in the future.
As you can see, my legs are bionic.
Today, I will tell human stories of bionic integration; how electromechanics attached to the body, and implanted inside the body are beginning to bridge the gap between disability and ability, between human limitation and human potential.
There's three extreme interfaces in my bionic limbs: mechanical, how my limbs are attached to my biological body; dynamic, how they move like flesh and bone; and electrical, how they communicate with my nervous system.
My bionic limbs are attached to my biological body via synthetic skins with stiffness variations, that mirror my underlying tissue biomechanics.
With this framework, we've produced bionic limbs that are the most comfortable limbs I've ever worn.
(Tapping sounds) We embed this material into the synthetic skin that attaches my bionic limb to my biological body.
The button's pushed, voltage is applied, and it stiffens, offering me a greater maneuverability over the bionic limb.
How do my bionic limbs move like flesh and bone?
We're building bionic ankles, knees and hips.
The bionic limbs that I'm wearing are called BiOMs.
Then at mid-stance, the bionic limb outputs high torques and powers to lift the person into the walking stride, comparable to how muscles work in the calf region.
This bionic propulsion is very important clinically to patients.
So on the left, you see the bionic device worn by a lady, on the right, a passive device worn by the same lady, that fails to emulate normal muscle function, enabling her to do something everyone should be able to do: go up and down their steps at home.
Moving on to electrical interface: How do my bionic limbs communicate with my nervous system?
That's communicated to the bionic limb, so when I think about moving my phantom limb, the robot tracks those movement desires.
This diagram shows fundamentally how the bionic limb is controlled.
And that capability is embedded in the chips of the bionic limb.
We want to actually close the loop between the human and the bionic external limb.
