    Hugh Herr is building the next generation of bionic limbs, robotic prosthetics inspired by nature's own designs. Herr lost both legs in a climbing accident 30 years ago; now, as the head of the MIT Media Lab's Biomechatronics group, he shows his incredible technology in a talk that's both technical and deeply personal - with the help of ballroom dancer Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who lost her left leg in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, and performs again for the first time on the TED stage.
    The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

    I’m not sure if the technology is broken, but definitely, a human can never be broken. There’s no doubt about it. If you feel you’re breaking yourself, there’re always solutions and that kind of thing.

      But he wasn't born disabled, his ego and hubris cost him his legs, he decided to go against mother nature and lost, as humans always do, and now he has done this, but the important question is whether he would have had he NOT lost his own legs, by his own admission he had zero interest in any of the fields he now currently qualifies in.

  • @SIMKINETICS
    @SIMKINETICS 8 лет назад +196

    This is very inspiring! I became a mechanical design engineer in the '70's because I saw development of machines as very important for our progress, and because it's interesting; the work often required electrical design of which I had to teach myself. My specialty was automation. When my son decided to become a mechanical engineer, I advised him to also learn electronics. He pursued a BS in Mechatronics, which integrates mechanical & electronic engineering, a fine basis for robotics engineering.
    He and I both worked in the bio-medical industry, so we share an appreciation for the vital link between engineering & biology that is creating a fast-growing, diverse industry. Anyway, my son went after a PhD in Computer Engineering by performing research in neuroscience, particularly in the links between human body motions and the nervous system, modeled as a robotic system. The logical goal of his research will be bionics!
    My son now is a university professor, helping new engineers to enter the field, some of whom will hopefully design bionic systems & prostheses like these! His most avid agenda is to help build-up the emerging emphasis on combining engineering education with the special demands of medical treatment in the 'new' discipline of bio-medical engineering at his university! I see a great future in this arena!
    For young people planning their futures & education, I'd advise that robotics & bionics jobs will not only offer great 'shelf-life', but will be fascinating! Take your education seriously now... it's an investment for yourself & the rest of us.

      daradidam Their mom & dad are both teachers, and their future university tuition will be supplemented, so their advanced education will likely result. My son takes an attitude of allowing them to freely choose careers, but seems to lean toward encouraging medical studies which we both acknowledge will be very different in another generation. However, I look at my lineage that included engineering for 4 generations now, so I easily imagine an engineering orientation in their genes & upbringing.
      Personally, I'll encourage a thorough science education at least! If any of them pursues bionics, I'll be delighted!

      Exactly, luckily the M.I.T lab is a 20 minute bike ride from my house. I became disabled 5 years ago, and today I can barely walk. I can't tie shoelaces or button a shirt or lift a frying pan. I want to donate my body to science BEFORE I die!

    This man reminds me of a special I saw on TV once years ago about a group of climbers going for Everest. One of the group was also a double leg amputee who used screw on spikes to help climb the mountain.
