"I'm holding a box ... OMG !!!" That line made me realize a lot of things ... Really wish you the best !
Yeah it's just assumed such basic things, but can you imagine not having another hand? All the fine adjustments you need with 2 hands.
The moment when your brain just tell you ok so you have a new arm no problem .... WAIT WHAT ????... well it's ok ... What the well !!!!! Plus the happyness to have new lost ability ! Yeah !! The best for you 💗
Reminds me of a comic strip where a superhero asks another superhero about what powers his magic gauntlet (prosthetic hand) grants him.
He replies that it allows him to pick things up. To shake hands with people. To open jars.
The superhero asks him "No no, but what SUPERPOWERS does it give you?"
The guy replies: "That IS a superpower."
الحمد للَّه
if it made you realise a lot u are probably very young
You're not a robot.. you're something WAY cooler!
You're a CYBORG!!
This person "Sciences" :)
I were thinking this all video
I was thinking the same thing!
Not a cyborg. Obviously a Jedi.
@@chrisscott8362 Yeah, totally obvious with her masterful dueling skills and telekinesis........ wtaf are you talking about?
My Dad lost his arm exactly where you lost yours, he was brush mowing and hit a tree stump knocking him off the tractor. This happened in the 60's. All his life he had a hook for a hand, but that didn't slow him down. He was a pipe fitter, welder, and a wood worker. He owned a welding shop and a hardware store. He also built 2 beautiful home's for his family. He passed away about 8 years ago, how I truly wish he could have seen this technology come out.
much better tech than that in prosthetics Just much more expensive. That is low tech
Maaan, what a generation "Doc just make sure it can flip the bird while I continue to still do everything I want" that's all I read here.
Great story thanks for sharing. Sorry for your loss
Too bad the wrist doesn't move also?
I'm really happy for this young lady. 🙂
She didn't lose her arm. She was born without one
This is the only unboxing video I've seen or could imagine that's actually worth watching, because it's so important and life-changing for her.
sameee
@Del Cox - I think that there are a ton of unboxing videos that are worth watching, but this probably isn´t the right place (or the right video) to discuss about it.
Look up for peoples reaction to seeing colors for the first time with these special glasses they have out. So cool
You should check out some of the videos where people unbox glasses that let them see color for the first time. A good watch as well.
deaf people hearing sound for the first time brought a tear to my eye.
No idea why the hell this even popped up in my recommended but I'm glad it did. I think there's a hidden message somewhere in there we can all learn from. Blessing to you ma'am and to everyone else.
"My first time opening a bottle like this"...... there are a lot of things we took for granted in this life.
You are a strong woman. Keep it up!!!!!!
It's scary to imagine that that there are people in the world that can't even enjoy the simplest of things. I legit can't imagine being excited over opening a bottle, since it's something automatic at this point.
Watching this is special. Amazing. I was raised with my amputee Grandfather. He lost a leg below the knee in 1945. The first leg I knew him to have was a home carved wooden yoke, fastened by buckled leather straps. This was on top of a strut made from 3/4" galvanised water pipe, and a rubber bung at the bottom. I recall him returning from the limb factory with his new fibreglass leg. At its base was a rubber disk - no ankle, and no foot. He fizzed with celebration - it is so light - those guys are miracle workers. For him that was the peak of prosthesis technology and always would be. He is long gone now, but I often see modern prosthesis and robotic assistances - and each time I see them, I imagine how it would blow his mind. Truly wonderous. Can you imagine what comes next any better than he did?
They get much more sophisticated these days.
Where was your grandfather during 45?
This is wholesome.

What amazed me was that the arm 'knew' to put enough pressure on a paper box to hold it firmly without crushing it.
@@mohork True, but remember, she hadn't "trained" it yet. She just read the directions to push and hold the button, and it still had enough 'native knowledge' (aka feedback programming) to not squeeze too hard. It will be interesting to see how much finesse she'll have once programmed and practiced with.
@@mohork What always gets me is the look on people's faces when a new technology suddenly opens doors that were tightly shut to them. Seeing it in their eyes that they now have these doors swung wide open before them, and the endless opportunities that await them, gets me every time.
@@zuzax1656 If you are interested James Bruton has done some interesting videos on the topic. It's entirely possible that the mechanism is handled mechanically rather than through software. ruclips.net/video/5RxZzuLiMdA/видео.html
@@zuzax1656 Well rather a combination of software and hardware
The arm didn't know how much pressure it did. The standard for those arms/hands is two sensors. One does all the opening and one the closing things. The sensors are located at the leftover of your arm, where the amputee has muscles to control the arm/hand. All is controlled by how long and hard you push the sensors and of course a clever software. It appears that she just pressed the sensor long enough to close the hand but not too long to crush the paper box. It's theoretically possible to do a p=u*i reading of the electric motors to recognize resistance. But then u have to implement that and that is very difficult since the hand doesn't know should it grab a paper box and not squeeze it or should it hold a water bottle that tight that the user can open it. It's much easier to just close your hand with the sensors and close it a little more to have a tighter grip on the water bottle. In general, there are some "standard" grips, like an open hand, closed hand, normal hand (where your fingers are in a neutral position like on a real hand), and a cup holder hand (where the little finger closes more, so that the cup is resting on your little finger when the grip is not tight enough).
the fact that eventually she'll be able to move it with just her thoughts... is frickin insaneeee
yeah becasue this button press shit would just use her other arm so she would be from 2 arms to 0 ...
You are special. The smile that comes on your face when holding that box was precious. All the best .
You should show us how to train it and stuff. This is the kind of tech that I just find fascinating.
Yes yes yes
It will most likely be basic associations of whatever part of the nervous/muscle system the socket can detect. If you watched her train it, it would probably be pretty boring for most, she would have to repeat movements until they are done how she wants them and then reinforce that they are always done how she wants. Probably over an hour or two. It would be cool to watch it though. It's incredible technology, I'm a CS student and use 3D printers a lot and this field is a great way to improve people's lives I've been wanting to break into.
There are several non-profit organizations dedicated to 3D printing prosthetics for children (since traditional prosthetics cost too much for kids as they grow out of them fast) that use mechanical-based grips, such as Team-Unlimbited and E-nabling the Future.
Its just got two functions both operated by the power button, grip and release.
@@drakekay6577 it can be trained to interpret muscle movements in the stump to move the fingers
@@athmaid 4:36 But yea, if it can also be programmed that's cool too!
I’m not an amputee, but you don’t have to be to know that this is cool as hell!
Same here,I think its cool what they can these days
She said she never had it so I guess it’s a birth defect rather than an amputation
exactly. im very impressed
Damn straight!
Im mind blown by how mind blown she is. Made my day seeing this.
Accidentally ended up here. Glad I did. This one of the coolest things I’ve ever witnessed. The human body and brain, mechanical engineering & software, ingenuity and emotion, all merging to make something beautiful - a new part of you. I would say “have a great life”, but something tells me you already have! Thanks for sharing.
My brother lost his arm too, there was one day he was doing the same thing you are doing and that brings me so much joy that you guys are still here in the moment not thinking about the past 💝 keep going
The joy that came onto your face when you turned your new prosthetic arm was so priceless. Such happiness and delightful thoughts you showed during this video is fantastic! Bless you for sharing this with everyone.
Now, This was just cool as hell! Wow, you got an arm! I'm a 70 year old disabled veteran. Almost lost my left arm 50 years ago. I know exactly how you must have felt this first time. I'm blown away by just how cool this is! I'm So happy and glad for you that I'm crying with the beauty of this moment. I look forwards to seeing more videos of your progress.
Just outstanding young lady, thank you for sharing. Congratulations.
@Kira
You are most welcome Kira.
Thank you for your respect.
i've been really huge into prosthetics as a kid just because of a game series called "Deus Ex", it's crazy to see how far we've come with prosthetics in just 20 years.. I will officially be jealous of amputees that will be able to flip the bird while continuously rotating their wrists 360 degrees..
3D printing and neural interfaces is changing the future of prosthetics.. the reality of Cyberpunk 2077 will be far less strange once people will become more and more augmented
So long as Edsel and Zeke don't interrupt your time with Gloria........."Take a ride......"
We are still a ways away from that. Around 2050 we will reach the singularity of computing and we will start to figure out everything that takes humans decades to figure out.
The Deus Ex people and a British prosthetics company, Open Bionics, work together to make so called Hero Arms for amputees. Daniel Melville and Tilly Lockey have them. Tilly also has another model of arm from Alita: Battle Angel with the help of James Cameron.
I got an ''Alita Battle Angel'' vibe from it. Nice!
This brings me tears of joy for her.. it's really beautiful seeing her how she can transform into something better
I wanted to cry when you put it on. I’m an amputee too. I felt the same way when I got my myoelectric prosthesis. It was emotional. It’s been broken for almost 5 years and I’m in a constant state of frustration that wears on my psyche something terrible. Thanks for this video this might be an option for me......and go out and grab a bunch of stuff!!! Lol
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I am so happy for you. My Dad is missing his left leg just above the knee. The complexity of the knee he wears is insane to me. I can only imagine the tech that goes into an arm. That was amazing to watch! I'm not going to lie this made a grown man cry tears of joy.
Random RUclips recommendation. I needed this whitepill. Seeing how technology is advancing to help people is utterly amazing. The joy on her face when she can hold things with her new arm is just heartwarming. God bless, and may the Omnissiah gift you with better tech in the future.
Prosthetics that work well are becoming more and more accessible and it's taken us way too long to get to that point.
The joy on your face when you held something was wonderful to see,
Seriously. How can 296 people not like this? So happy for her.
256 people who can't have a Nice robot arm like her.🚯
Having our operatings limbs is so often taken for granted. Watching this actually watered my eyes. Very intense. Thanks so much for sharing. The emotions went right out to the audience.
3d printing is changing lives and her reaction where she had to take a min was amazing honestly I got just pure joy from this!
this came up in my recommended out of nowhere. I'm glad it did even if i cried when you started grabbing stuff; just your excitediness and the look in your eyes over the ability to use your right arm in a way the majority of us take for granted just tore me up. Please let us know how you are doing and how the prosthetic training is going.
From,
New Sub
Props to the the company that builds these and I'm glad this girl got the chance to experience having one of these.
childlike happiness....holding the box....
excellent....
lesson learned....never take anything for granted....
i wasnt so happy about the prosthetic thing. but glance in ur eyes ,u felt like it was ur real hand. that makes me happy.
It grabbed the box without crushing it. That's impressive.
Bet the boyfriend can't wait to try it, you know if you know.
Bet the boyfriend can't wait to try it, you know if you know.
"It" didn't grab the box. She did!!!
@@boofer875 pretty sure that pronoun was directed at the prosthetic ... same as the onscreen speaker did at about 9:30 and 9:40 ...
of course onscreen speaker also said him and he at other points referring to the prosthetic, so ...
Yes, all cybernetic hands are programmed to incessantly crush boxes. Something is clearly wrong.
Very happy for you. Would love to see a follow-up on how it's been working after all the training is done.
This isn't what I was looking for when I searched 3d printed arms but I'm fascinated none the less.
Her reaction holding the box with her robotic arm is just priceless
This stuff is fascinating to me. I never imagined I would live to see this technology get so far that it would be capable of recognising your intentions just through those sensors but here we are.
It makes me appreciate the fact that I have everything intact and functioning.
This is why I love 3d printing, it makes things like this more possible and easier to get ahold of. I can even see them releasing a core kit, and then people can 3d print their own shell for it easy enough so they can have fun colors or designs for them.
It has terrible durability.
@@BillyBoze Nope.
@@BillyBoze Where did you find that out, or is it just a guess? Even thin 3D printing with good materials and good design is actually very strong
The 3d printing is the least impressive part here.
@@BillyBoze even if that where true, the shape of the arm would be easily replaceable with new parts. Not to mention depending upon material it could be incredibly durable. Such as 3d printed carbon printed material.
Your reaction around 5:30 was one of the most wonderful things I have ever seen. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing with us.
If anyone from Unlimited Tomorrow sees this, thank you for producing such amazing work. You are heroes.
Bringing smiles to people is truly noble work.
💚💚💚💚 absolutely love this congratulations... also love how you're excited about 250 people seeing this and now like 1.2 million have 👏👏👏👏👏 congratulations Miss !
Never seen your channel before. The excitement and joy on your face is infectious. Happy for you.
ABBY THIS IS SO COOL! Seeing your smile of shock and appreciation and gratitude and AMAZEMENT was just so special. SUPER happy for you!!!
Man, that arm looks really cool. I'm constantly impressed on how far technology has come. Look at that thing, it's awesome!
SO COOL! So happy for you, and for the technicians that are coming up with these. They have come so very far since the 60's.
Probably the best and most moving unboxing I’ve ever seen. Thank you for sharing & hopefully reminding us to appreciate the things we take for granted x
My cousin lost his left arm from the elbow down and has a prosthetic from the same company and he loves it. He can't say enough good about them.
So psyched for you! Beautiful to see the break throughs impacting real lives in an affordable and applicable way. Congratulations 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
I also have only one arm. I’ll get a prosthetic when it’s like Robocop, till then I’m more than good. Happy for you and proud of all you’ve accomplished thus far!
@Bloofa I suspect that he is waiting for it to come out with built in fire-power.
How do you game with one arm?
some guy on youtube makes his own hands. They look pretty metal. I would want one like he has its like a robot
Elon, if you're listening, please make this person's statement a reality!
If I remember, there's a data interface of some sort, which also doubles as a pointy, stabby weapon. I guess it'll be USB-C, because 2021, but let's toss in Thunderbolt, because he's awesome? And a Boring Co. not-a-flamethrower, . And for fun, how about Tesla cold gas thrusters, so it can fly, like the old Giant Robo anime? (And, umm, I'll need one for testing...)
Seriously, if I had one leg I would want a Terminator leg
This is the ONLY unboxing video that I found worth watching so far. So cool that thing like this exists and can help. Thank you for sharing this.
I can not imagine what you must feel like but from the pure bliss you were showing i think it changed you life for the better. I am Happy for you to be able to have this increddible piece of engineering.
truly amazing, so many emotions and feelings , watching you with this incredible piece of technology , and yes i was on the verge of tears seeing you doing what so many of us take for granted and don't think about, it has given me a new perspective and has humbled me , thank you for that and bless you
Absolutely amazing how technology can really be used to improve a individuals life just that random act of picking up a box we take for granted is amazing.
Taking the individual adding the missing piece to as close as possible to function as the required arm and hand truly amazing.
Your expression was priceless.
Just came across this video by random chance and have to say I am really glad I did, it has given my day the positive vibe I really needed. Great video thank you for sharing this part of your journey.
I have all my limbs, but i get SO excited to see whats new/more accessible for prosthetics. it makes me so happy that it appears to be getting easier to get movable hands; I personally don't know what id do if i couldn't use both of mine
Thank you for sharing this experience!! Watching you feel like you were holding something for the first time was amazing.
It’s a blessing to witness miracles in real time.
So happy for you !! What a blessing technology can be when we put our minds to it. All the best. Xx
Not gonna lie: I both belly laughed and teared up at your reactions. I'm so happy for you!
I'm so glad you've got your new arm, it's awesome. I truly hope it's helped you in your life.
Never thought I'd cry just watching someone hold a box...
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
I believe that bad/difficult things happen to people in general partially because it helps us to understand and have joy and happiness. You can't really understand happiness and true joy if you haven't had trials or difficulties in your life. What's amazing in this video is that something has made your life difficult to the point that you were able to have this moment that you recorded on video that brought you such joy you were able to share some with those of us watching. Thank you so much for doing so. This is possibly the coolest youtube video I have ever watched.
maybe its just me but seeing her get hype about the arm just puts a smile on my face and just over al makes me Happy ^_^ to see her in so much JOY !
In a world thats falling apart and turning to doo doo. This was absolutely beautiful to watch. thank you for sharing this!
The look of joyous awe on your face! Truly amazing, delighted to see this happen for you!
Congratulations hun!!! That is beyond amazing!! I have my limbs and all, but my hands are super weak and my activities are limited by that… so even though you didn’t, I did shed a few tears of joy when I saw you grasp box. Hi five!!! Best wishes to you!!!
Absolutely heart warming to see such joy on a human being. I can't imagine how she must feel, but she's totally right this looks totally cool.
Genuine happiness for another human being that has experienced something truly wonderful for them.
Seeing this made me feel so appreciative of the blessings I have in my life and feel so happy that she is finally able to truly experience griping things with her right hand for the first time. Subscribing just because of how great and inspiring this was to see.
So happy also to see someone clearly excited that her life has been improved. I hope to see another video in a couple of years showing you gripping an object just using the mind or nerve pulses in the arm. Well done really impressive. My uncle (now deceased) had both his legs removed in his 20s. He would have been fascinated with this technology.
I’ve been waiting forever for this I loved the look on your face and am so happy for you
I'm so happy for you. Just discover your YTB channel, this is first video I'm watching from you and literally I'm in tears because of how happy I'm for you. Send love from Slovakia (Europe).
You have made my day!! Seeing how happy you are when you first put it on was really nice. Mindblowing how you can just get the thing out of the box, plug it onto your elbow and then just start grabbing stuff. Absolutely amazing!
I'm sad there isn't any update videos. This was super cool and I'm really happy for you. I was hoping to see how you've trained it and are using it now.
As a kid I grew up watching the bionic man, to see something like this is mind blowing.
Things like this are what makes me glad to be alive in the time we're in.
Question: Do surgeons nowadays intentionally leave some of the forearm muscles intact in order to read sensors on future prosthetic limbs?
Yes!
You don't need the muscles just the nerves. Surgeons can move the nerves to better locations. Called targeted muscle reinternervation I believe.
That has become a more common surgical practice overthe past few years, yes.
Im sorry, that is fucking cool as fucking fuck.
I love how you enjoy your new forearm and I wish you the best in life.Your reaction was heartwarming for me.
Your whole attitude is so inspiring, most people with two complete arms should take note. Myself included.
I literally had tears in my eyes when you said im holding a box ,so happy for you !!:)
Congratulations! I expected, when you said,
“Can you believe I’ve had this two weeks and haven’t opened it?” You would follow it up with “It’s cuz I ONLY GOT ONE ARM!”
Really cool to see how it works. I just saw this today, I’m going to watch a later video and see how you’re doing.
Holy shit! The look on your face was priceless. This hits me right in my tech love. This is awesome, and you are spectacular. Deep love to you - I’ll be watching. Show us more!
Her Halloween pranks will be *2nd to None* with her sense of humor.
These are the things i get emotional to. Life Changing moments to those who need it. Happy to see you're happy!
That is AWSOME!!!. The look on your face was priceless.
I cried joyful tears for you. That is a wonderful prosthetic. I'm heading to your channel to see if you posted any updates. AWESOME!!!
And the arm looks cool, too! Like, that's the kind of thing a sci-fi main character would have as a hand
Technology can be used for so many good things, am so happy these things exist today.
With this tech, she can finally start your annoying quest..
You’re incredibly brave to show the world this, it must be a very emotional moment. Best of luck with your new arm.
Wow. The technology is amazing, but not even comparable to your joy! Love it!
This is popping off in the recommended for everyone, even me! This is awesome, so happy for you
prosthetics are moving fast, in almost no time you'll probably have the option of an even further upgrade.
TIME FOR PROTON CANNON UPGRADE~!!
Not really, there is more advanced technology produced years ago
I'm still waiting for my retractable sunglasses implant ^^
UPGRADES PEOPLE UPGRADES
Praise be to the Omnissiah. For it is by his will we are taught to please the machine spirit with the holy oils.
Ahh where is the video showing us how it works after you've trained it! This is so cool, I'm so glad there are companies out there working on these
I feel very happy for you, that now you can do many more things and improve your quality of life. I am from Argentina and I am a robotics technician working on making free robotic arms for people who are in your same situation. regards!
@Pablo Alejandro
That is an awesome project. I am looking at doing something similar in Australia.
Maybe we can collaborate. Search wize dynamics Elliott.
I wish you success.
Your smile make me cry, thank you for sharing happiness...
IT´S NOT THE ACTION ITSELF THAT REALLY MATTERS, BUT THE ACTION OF THE ARM WITH SENSATION, AND BRAIN INFORMATION, AND MOVING AN ARM THAT WAS NEVER THERE. REALLY AMAZING VIDEO.
Amazing! So happy for you! Imagine how much a custom robotic limb from the medical suppliers would be! upwards of 10k$ I bet. This is some pretty amazing stuff for people who've had to live without this tech just because life is expensive. congratulations! 😊
$50 to $80,000
This is why im so excited about the future of 3d printing. it can mean things like this become more common place. Hell i can see specialty stores online that you can get unique shells for the limbs so you could have unique colors or patterns on them.
Had life worked out differently, creating devices like this was exactly what I really wanted to do. It's amazing to see things I dreamed about actually becoming a reality.
That’s so cool! You are the new female terminator haha! 😄
That arm must be giant! Good choice.
This is the first video I've seen of yours but you seem to be pretty awesome yourself. Thank you for sharing your special moment and congrats on the arm.
This just makes me appreciate the fact that i am a fully functioning human with two arms. Humbling. I hope you will have much joy with this prosthetic and may they only get better in the future.
This is so awesome! I'm a robotics engineer, and I've always loved seeing all kinds of prosthetic designs, but I've never pushed my career that direction. Seeing your reaction to this and witnessing the joy in your eyes while experiencing your new prosthetic, just might make me change my career path. 🤓
This made my day.
Seeing your reaction, and how much something like this can improve the quality of life for people is amazing.
Seeing videos like this reminds me of the Dual Core song "Painting Pictures", and it makes me legit happy.
This is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen.
❤Thank you so much for sharing this amazing moment! ❤
pistol, flamethrower, rocket launcher, shotgun, grenade launcher...the possibilities are endless.
You gonna turn Abby into a femme Winter Soldier?
@@Anino_Makata She'll toss winter soldier like a tin can. >:)
Yeah just in case a probe going to Venus accidentally lands on earth and starts causing trouble she can square up on it.
