How we'll become cyborgs and extend human potential | Hugh Herr
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2018
- Humans will soon have new bodies that forever blur the line between the natural and synthetic worlds, says bionics designer Hugh Herr. In an unforgettable talk, he details "NeuroEmbodied Design," a methodology for creating cyborg function that he's developing at the MIT Media Lab, and shows us a future where we've augmented our bodies in a way that will redefine human potential -- and, maybe, turn us into superheroes. "During the twilight years of this century, I believe humans will be unrecognizable in morphology and dynamics from what we are today," Herr says. "Humanity will take flight and soar."

If this guy came to me and told me he's a time traveller i'd believe him. Just look at his suit. It's awesome.
Karraq it's actually a woman's suit with the legs cut short.
He looks like Doctor Venture
It looks so Cyberpunk xD
Lmao 😂 YASSS
Level Joe its actually a jumpsuit nerd
I'm a 28 female suffering from severe physical disability, which is CIDP.
It's absolutely impossible for me to lead a life without assistance, and my QOL is extremely low.
I want to be freed from these distresses so I want death with dignity.
However if I can get BiOM, I want live more.
I want to walk, run and take my lovely dog out for a walk.
So I want this soooooooooooo much.
Hang in there, look at the progress of technology. All of this will soon be affordable to everyone. You could also contact people like Hugh Herr, who knows maybe they will take you as a test subject. Humanity is in for a roller coaster of a ride, you wouldn't want to miss it.
Give me your address i promise you won't feel a thing
@@starman7645 Thank you, anyway. I live in Japan, so I will not be able to get this BiOM.
Stay strong!!! We are all rooting for you! Contact Hugh Herr!! The time is now!
Aina K ms or mis, K I truly hope you can find a reality in this aspiration of course time will be the teller of your fortune but with luck on your side it could be possible to do what you wish for and more
Leonardo Da Vinci would probably be saying "About fkn time" at this
I can't begin to comprehend the things that crossed that man's mind that never reached paper.
Probably would take out a note and flex that he got the idea first
2018: "Look at how these prosthetics move! It's so realistic!"
2034: "And this button activates the plasma cannon..."
Future is hopeful
"Don't push this one it'll fire the death star.."
The title looks like something I'd imagine on Mondas before the full cyber conversion... prosthetics are good, but uncompulsory cybernetic enhancement is just one step towards true cybermen being created.
Deus Ex
This button regrows the skin over that bullet hole, this one prints the tendons, and this one prints the muscle and this one, oh crap, I pushed the go go gadget rocket arm!
" Humanity will end disability in this 21th century " wow that gives me chill ! I will try to be part of that process, it would be so great to help that many people 😃
Really makes me want to go into biomedical engineering/bioengineering.
Okay but its still an amazing improvement over a wheelchair and the proprioception takes it a step further . Hope the wings don't malfunction mid flight lol but we shmuks have to take what we can get .
Ok. I am going to recap what this religious zealot Awakened2Christ is all talking about. Basically they wrote a 480 words paragraph dancing around 3 "logical" arguments:
1. Technology is evil. No question asked. (Does not sound like religious indoctrination at all, doesn't it?)
2. Apparently anything biological is by default immortal, cheap and safe 100%. (NOT.)
3. You are dumb.
Oh, and also they are copy pasting this stupid paragraph everywhere.
To give my least efforts to the development of transhumanism, I'll follow them then.
What of people who are born disabled? People who don't have any sort of "residuum?" If someone never had a right hand. Their brain never learned how to communicate with a hand that wasn't there. Moreover, their right arm may not have the nerves and muscles that would have gone to that non-existent hand.
I'm not saying this technology is thus worthless. But helping amputees, while great, isn't the same thing as ending disability.
@Awakened2Truth - Disciple of Jesus the Christ "Technology is evil" you say as you're certainly using some form of technology to comment on this video
Wow, I thought this would be a dreamer bullshitting about the future, but he is talking about the real, the present!
well the humans with wings part was pretty dreamy
Check out his older video, its pretty great.
Hugh Herr is a legend in the biomechatronics world. Highly recommended watching his early Ted Talks just to see how far he's gone in so little time.
Everything we had now are basically byproducks of dreamy, imaginative bullshit of the past.
@@riftis2210 dreamy? why? 30 years ago his legs were dreamy... robot legs that u can feel actually?
we'll hear a lot about this guy in 20 years or so

@@Flamdring I meant it as a constructive type of competition that helps lift the human enhancement field in general
@Daniel Appleton 😂😂👍
Wow this cyber foot is freaking amazing, I wasn't even expecting the brain connection part, I hope this get implemented all around the world very soon. Cyber Hands, fingers, legs, ... So many people need this
Happy to see him again at TED
Different prosthetics from the ted tall 6 years ago
If i get to fly in real life before i die i definitely will die happy.
Logic and Reason sky diving.
Get on a plane
actually you can fly and die happy but not sure about landing
james lee wisdom jr Not so much flying as it is safely falling at terminal velocity
I was obviously referring to a kind of flight like birds or even better like iron man.
The future I dreamed as a kid is becoming soooooooooo much closer to reality
Hey I remember this guy from when he talked about advanced prosthetics. I'm looking forward to seeing his progress over the last few years

Million Dollar Man
yeah no way you made that urself
@kanggaro 'Six million dollar man' starring Lee Majors was a TV series. A spin-off was the 'Bionic woman' starring Lyndsay Wagner..
How much we enjoyed that tv series... Looks like it became a real thing soon.
@@dreshaunbarnes3658 SIX million dollar man
WINGS !! I WANT THEM !! (dies on first try of flying...)
We're too heavy for wings. We'd need to hollow out our bones and throw away some organs to achieve flappy winged flight. Compact jet engines on the other hand...
I am so hopeful for those with disabilities and for those invested in longevity after watching this talk!!! Congratulations on your success !! Thank you for making the world a better place !!!
now the challenge is to make these cheap and accessible to millions in the world.
I’m an engineering student and I’m literally crying watching this, that’s the future I’m looking for
The flesh is weak
Humans r fragile beings!

I really wonder where humanity will be in 50 years
Dinosaurs will do their comeback that would be lit
I believe therere will be less humanity in us. Computer parts will improve so much you might not even be able to tell what's real and what's a cybernetic part. It may even get better than a human part (take an eye for example)

Cyberpunk 2077
is that all you got out of this
Jajaja i was thinking about it the hole presentation jaja
and this is awesome. When reality can touch dreams, this is why God placed us here.
Cyberpunk 2018=)
seems like it wont take till 2077 tho
We're living in the earliest era of the future
We are living in the end times. Jesus is coming back to put an end to all of this foolishness.
This guy, if his first ted talk wasn't already the best one, this one will take the top place. Epic. What a time to be living in.
I lost my leg to cancer and would love the same legs he has
I lost my lower left leg in a tram accident 18 years ago. I'm so used to it now that my disability is just a part of me.
When I just saw the clip of the guy moving that foot around I felt a weird sensation in my body and started to cry a little bit. Why? I don't know.
I think it has to do with actually seeing it in the real-world instead of sci-fi stuff.
Like it instantly occurred to me that.. that could be ME... US! Ah well.. who knows right? I'm 30 years old now and hope I get to see this happen. That would be so bizarre..
Now that I think of it.. after 18 years.. would I still want to go back? Sorry for my babbling but this video made my brain go haywire :P
Time will tell. Greets from The Netherlands \m/
@@rappeldo this is our future, hopefully we can replace spinal injury's. And this gentleman here has prooves to me that we are not only on the right path, but we are over achieved the goal, to have our lives back, plus more. Our body's are only the beginning to enhance, next will be our very minds.
This overwhelmed me emotionally a little at the end. People are walking again, hearing again, seeing again. The future is bright! ♥
“Resistance is futile”...sorry. I couldn’t help myself.
Steven Baumann 😂😂😂
Well *it is* . This is indeed unavoidable and no amount of old fundamentalistic ideology could ever change it.
MetallicReg well. That depends. Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for it. Society as a whole appears to be regressing. If it continues to do so, all this technology and science could become lost.
Don't worry, it doesn't in reality. It is just that the small conservative minorities do a great job of crying louder in a globalized world while the rest is busy building it up.
All the statistics are clear about this one - the majority is getting access to education and can sustain their life. This leads directly to the eradication of fundamentalism and other ideologies.
You just can witness the "last resistance" of some major dying cults.
MetallicReg I hope so. With all the flat earth idiots. I worry.
THIS RIGHT HERE is a CROWING ACHIEVEMENT of human ingenuity and medicine. Well done! This is what we can do if we decide that we can be more and give more to create a BETTER human experience. So beyond proud of these wonderful men and women of Project Cyborg to help make peoples' lives better!
That research is a HUGE step forward in Bionics and Biomechatronics.
We indeed are in the 21st century. Cyber Physical systems, augmented reality, Gene engineering (CRISPR) and Bionics are not words on some syfy media anymore, they are very real.
In the context of Biomechatronics, that literaly means that severed parts could with enough investment in research, be replaced by robotics limbs ... stronger, faster, more precise... without the need to control it like a joystick. They just are intrinsically part of you main operational system.
I guess that's what biomedical engineers do
He has bionic limb.
He climbs wall.
Genji confirmed.
I need healing
I NEED HEALING

As a overwatch player I agree.
Lol
Kudos! to Professor Herr for his work with bionics and his courage in recovering from his mountain-climbing accident. Needless to say, many people will be supplied with prosthetic limbs because of bionics.
I can't wait for this stuff to be an option for everybody. i have a birth defect that's causing my femur to widdle away at the inside on my knee and ankle joints. It also alters my gait and posture at times leading to significant back pain. I am in chronic pain and my only options currently are prescription pain killers (which i despise) or a 50/50 surgery that could increase the pain more radically over time. On top of all that arthritis runs in my family.
I'd gladly amputate to get cyborg limbs at this point.
Awakened2Truth - Disciple of Jesus the Christ I read half way but regenerating bones is hard
Sorry to hear about your chronic pain issues, I have the same issues relying on strong painkillers daily too, you know I can understand completely the need in terms of people with disablements being disabled myself I can see the great benefit, however being open to everyone should never be an option, if you are non disabled and healthy zero impairments, then replacing healthy parts of yourself just for an upgrade is a terrifying prospect.

Of all the TED talks I've seen, this is probably the most amazing. Humanity... you have it baby
My right foot is slowly dying and I will loose it in a couple of years.
Seeing this, I am less scared.
Hey man! How are you holding up? I'm just checking in after a year since I felt bad for you
It's been a couple of years. I hope your foot is good
@@adityabhalekar3506 thanks for checkin in. It got a little worse. I have therapy on the foot every other day. I can feel it getting more and more stiff. But hey, it is still attached to me, so I got that going for me.
@@Noine14159145 I am soo happy to hear that. Cannot even imagine knowing that one of my most vital body parts is going to lose its function. Hopefully that never happens
Sarif was right about one thing. It's in our nature to want to rise above our limits. Think about it. We were cold, so we harnessed fire. We were weak, so we invented tools. Every time we met an obstacle, we used creativity and ingenuity to overcome it. The cycle is inevitable. In the past, we've had to compensate for weaknesses, finding quick solutions that only benefit a few. But what if we never need to feel weak or morally conflicted again? What if the path Sarif wants us to take enables us to hold on to higher values with more stability? One thing is obvious. For the first time in history, we have a chance to steal fire from the gods. To turn away from it now - to stop pursing a future in which technology and biology combine, leading to the promise of a Singularity - would mean to deny the very essence of who we are. No doubt the road to get there will be bumpy, hurting some people along the way. But won't achieving the dream be worth it? We can become the gods we've always been striving to be. We might as well get good at it.

He is Great... He didn't cry or grieve for the loss of legs. If we could improve the tech that gives him his legs we can surely make cyborgs
Pushing the limits, Rewriting the fate, Achieving the impossible. Congratulations whole team who involved
I loved the talk but did he have to dress like a Bond villain? ^^
itshelpa lol
Well, at least he's trying to break away from the standard men's uniform that's been the only choice for us for the last few decades. Good for him. Awesome tech though!
It is the turtleneck 😂😂
No, I'm not a StarTrek fan, but he is dressed like the character "Data," who is not a villain. He's a "cyborg" (a human-like robot). This was not a reference to the James Bond movies.
I think his dress compliments his name.
This was one of the most inspiring Ted talks I've ever seen. Awesome presentation.
Amazing!! Keep improving, keep discovering, keep advancing humanity and helping those that are hurt the most, or have rare disabilities
Absolutely incredible. The advances in technology in my young life are astounding.
Can I get one of these, my feet are slowly paralyzing. And it is killing me inside, no one wants two floppy things at the end of their legs. And that is what I have.
is that an illness or something?
Different yes, it's CMT, not just my feet, also my hands. It's a neuropathy.
marlousv im sorry to hear that. hope you can find happiness
Janzi oh I am generally very happy. Just not so happy with my body.
Sorry but a neuropathy means illness in the brain. It can't be fix with new muscels.
There's a documentary called "Augmented" available on PBS streaming that goes into the whole story behind the research and Herr's experiences. I wish there was more about how people can fly, but it's really good.
the principal insight is a truly great find, I can't believe that this doesn't get more coverage
I am concerned about our humanity. I have the feeling that we can't survive without this technology, but at the same time I have the feeling it destroys something about being human.
So interesting to think about it.
Cyborg here. I'm actually deaf since birth but device instilled inside my head (cochlear implant). I would say that vulnerability makes me a human. I never felt fit into disabled people and even "normal" people. I was stuck in between two but one thing is surely apparent; vulnerability. That's what makes us humans.
This video made me realize how much bionics and ai can be applied now and how far it can go in the future. This also made me realize how smart our brain is and how well it can interpret what seems to be impossible signals. Overall this video was very enlightening.
Wow ted i was amputated a year ago and ive lost everything with this amputation .i lost my job my wife and im stuck between 4 walls all day long i used to be very active but now i am the opposite.i cant go outside and play with my 10 year old daughter .i feel like a burden to everyone around me i was honestly ready to give up and now you have given me some hope .thanks a million .i actuaally would love to talk with you
i just watched his ted talk from 2014, ITS AMAZING HOW FAR HE HAS COME HOLY CRAP.
This Talk sounds like one BIG Sales Pitch for MIT !
I'm a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.
Really? What happened to your natural endoskeleton?
John T.. ahhh, that way. I assumed you somehow managed to grow muscle and flesh on an artificial metal endoskeleton. I am disappointed, my stupidity, my bad.

Haven’t heard from him in a long time, only appropriate he made yet ANOTHER leap in prosthetic technology, amazing guy
Thank you Professor Hugh Herr for your contributions and also for being an amazing & life-saving friend.
Officially not climbing a mountain
Lieutenant Dan, you got new legs.
Truly extraordinary accomplishments in technology. I used to study prosthetic technology back in my junior year in high school, even creating designs for a powerpoint presentation. This has reignited my interest, and makes me want to go to college to help aid in this technology. Absolutely amazing accomplishments!
Happy to say this is the first ted talk i have watched out of my own free will
I hope Im not dead by then
Let's all be turned into genji
MADA MADA
I hope I am.
Hi, I'am an MIT professor, I created a portable device that when connected to your ear canal produces a sound that will make prosthesis obsolete. Once activated it sounds something like: "FREE CLIMBING IS A BAD IDEA! HOW MANY MIT PROFESSORS SHOULD IT TAKE TO UNDERSTAND THIS?!"
It's so bad that people are becoming cyborgs and are soon have literal wings and fly like a bird.
He took it pretty well though, and it shows how you can develop mental strength, think how most people would react in tough situations. He was doing the climbing for his own satisfaction. Risky things in life are necessary. He has a vision for humans now, a purpose to live. Working towards a goal you want to achieve while liking it is a life worth living. Life is how you see it; would you play Mario if you didn't like it? Living in a dream is as necessary as living in reality.
Critics are important too, but like this you're only discouraging people to do things they like even if it's not hurting anybody else.
Time to rethink, bruh.
(Sorry if the first paragraph doesn't make much sense, my mind can get too philosophical even for me sometimes)
Thank you for your lecture
I have an uncle who’s missing 2 legs due to an ied, and he struggles to even get up with his prosthetics, much less do little unconscious things, like how the guy in the video walks from side to side out of nervousness, that’s insane to me.
The future truly is now
Ironically, I am writing a sci-fi novel about this very subject “Remotely Controlled “
Hows that going?
Honestly cant wait. Cybernetics will improve the human life a lot.
How is the flesh to leg interface? I know that traditional prosthetics tend to blister where tissue and synthetic materials meet. Superb concepts; these devices will improve quality of life for those that require them! Great post!!
most underrated TED talk!
Transhumanism for the win!!
I absolutely loved this one... this was great.
@@MoveInSilence23 Julian Huxley?
The death of death. Socialism and transhumanism will send humanity to space.
@@millabasset1710 All Transhumanist advances in the last 100 years have been done in market countries.
To end disability, yes
To augment, no.
We have to keep tight controls on this technology or we will lose what it is to be human. It is not only our strengths that make us who we are, but also our frailties.
13:22 listen to what he's saying here. A guy standing behind the first computer said that one day computers will fit the palm of your hand and people will talk over long distances with small devices. What he's saying is really our future.
Hugh Herr was one of the best young climbers in the country in 1982. Amazing where life has brought him
This is really amazing and important work, but I get concerned when people attribute disability to only physical ones. I'm referring specifically to his comment that we'll "erase disability in the 21st century". I mean, I hope he's right, but if so, there is a lot of catch-up needed for other fields of research into other types of disabilities.
Unless he's truly speaking holistically, his comment erases those that suffer from emotional, mental, and covert physical disabilities, and we are so much further behind in those fields than we are with overt physical disabilities.
There are so many people who don't even acknowledge that there are any disabilities beyond overt ones, and I fear that if we don't catch up with the amazing technology that is happening for those with overt disabilities, then those with covert ones will be left behind, or erased from the disability label altogether.
It is really sad how many people are against this, don't use your religion to shame others for wanting a normal life. Some people are saying "I would never let them make me half robot" this is to help people that have lost the use of their limbs, you can't imagine what that is like.
He isn't talking about using technology just to help disabled people. He's talking about that, yes, but also trans-humanism, which is very different.
@@OptimusNiaa
"Ohhhh becoming humans with extra abilities to survive is baad ooooohhhhhhhh nooooo" shut up.
@@OptimusNiaa To paraphrase Ray Kurzweil, Biological evolution is too damn slow for us. With technology, we can tell it to take a hike as we leave it in the dust.
@@pedrokantor3997 I was responding to the comment made by "A Brief History Of," wherein he/she said this technology is to help people have a normal life and so folks shouldn't be opposed to it. I pointed out that Mr. Herr is talking about using technology for more than letting people have a normal life, but rather trans-humanism.
Point being...I already knew that trans-humanism was what was in view here. You'll note that I wasn't arguing whether it's good or bad, but merely that it is different than merely wanting to let disabled people lead normal lives.
What difference does it make to you if some people will never let them do that to them? 😆 you need them to want this too? Its a no from me but yall have at it. I would take your place in line. 😉
Thnx so much 4 this vid, this tech looks amazing & can help so many peeps who desperately need it.
What an amazing talk and awesome jumpsuit!

@Awakened2Truth - Disciple of Jesus the Christ To be fair you seem less enlightened than this guy because you believe in a fairy tale.
cybermans... :)
A-MAZING !! Kudos to Jim and to team Cyborg... I had wet eyes watching him climb and thinking what this truly means for people - I just hope it becomes cheap enough for all to have who need
Amazing. Can't wait to see what they come up with in the years to come.
If this comes to pass, and I think it's likely, how affordable will it be? Who'll be in charge of deciding whether it's available to the average person? Who'll own the technology that's put inside humans? We like to think we'll be super-beings tomorrow. I think the reality will be a lot less shiny.
"We can rebuild him, better, stronger, faster".... Loved this presentation thank you
This is how we evolve ,with people like this
One of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a while. We will all be like the major in ghost in the shell soon haha
Great speaker, no umm's or ahh's :)
Wonderful team, fascinating subject.
This Ted talk is especially relevant as Detroit: Become Human just came out
Axelade i just said that 😅 we’re gonna have our own Connors and Karas
Axelade that game made me actually think about all of this... Like cyborgs and making "spare parts" for us human... For easier life and maybe one day longer life like just changing our bad systems with new ones...
You mean Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Nathan Gatten Just type 'Detroit' in youtube and see the search suggestions.
But those aren't cyborgs. We need to see advancements in AI
Beautiful to see the development after all these years
*From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither and you'll beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death i serve the Omnissiah*
It feels weird watching this video shortly after I've finished playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution
This is wonderful. I eagerly anticipate the future of human augmentation.
I don’t know how but I’m going to work in this field it is truly the infancy of what the future of humanity will be and I love it.
His voice sounds like it is from a cyborg.
World History With Dan He is just slightly nervous.
Sometimes, nervousness can sound like an artefact from auto-tune. I think that’s why he sounds a bit robotic. Aidan totally nailed it.
Is it me... or does he remind you of Data from Star Trek TNG?
He is a professor what do you expect :D
@Aidan Walker @Kenneth Mionnet i don't think it's because he's nervous, he's a professor and he's highly involved with this bionics program, he had a million presentations, conferences and tv appearances, including another TED talk before this one, i think he sounds like that because he's slightly winded, i imagine standing up for a long period of time using only your hips and core strength to stay balanced is very physically demanding, not only that but i'd imagine that just before starting he had to go up some stairs to go on stage which made it a bit worse for him, but it's still very impressive nonetheless.
I love Hugh Herr
Am asking on the half of TED why this can be applied, in a reverse oder to make visuals inside a blind person, I asked this question in my college days before 10 years back to my optics professor.
We can’t imagine a 10 minutes in complete darkness. So please make a great move in this technology.These concepts should be stands for humankind not only for making money..
Every time I get a chance to watch a new Hugh Herr video, I get goosebumps and my heart takes off a little bit. This is the future I want. #transhumanism
I want to be a cyberboi
Kobe Robinov ewww
Yes lol
You'll always be a step behind for what you're now . So be greatful
Same, i think i'll do that when prosthetics will be better than our actual limbs.
Well fall off a rock, simple.
Now we will be a space faring race. Each planet we inhabit will have humans with different kind of human cyborg adaptations required to live on that planet. MARS, HERE WE COME
This is the path, congratulations, I'm excited to see your next updates on this.
STANDING HERE...
Id totally be down for this. Better eyes and arms that can lift a car would be cool
you can use an exoskeleton for this
you'll break your back trying to lift a car with those strong arms
Not with an exo-skeleton that you're neurally connected with :D
Awakened2Truth - Disciple of Jesus the Christ there is no sole creater with super intellect

Allways best Ted.💒💒
Babastar Technical where are comments like these on non popular videos?
This made me cry with joy, definitely as Carl Sagan said science is our best tool, although I think it was Einstein, however, it is beautiful to see the potential of intellect and human goodness at its best.
Over time this technology will become more lighter which will eventually add to its versatility. Beautiful presentation
#TED
Can this be done for hand fingers? I have lost half of my finger and rest of them are demaged
how?
to answer your question, yes it's possible it follows the same logic, it's fair to say all muscle-moved parts of the human body can be made artificially controlled and communicate with the body. The only problem is size, look at the size of that leg and its motors, sure you don't need the fingers to be as massive but some stuff can't be made smaller to the scale of a finger. Also I am not very knowledgeable about fingers and hands but there is a ton of muscles involved that are very small compared to legs, hope for the best for you man, I think it ll happen in your life time.
www.onwardohsu.org/blog/detail/future-now -- there's a trial going on now for mind-controled hands and fingers. There's a version that even has touch and heat sensation
Smitb Smitb how can i find that?
Awakened2Truth - Disciple of Jesus the Christ
You'r right. Thats acctualy much better solution. But I've seen his ted talk he was talking about organs. They have deferent muscle. (Soft muscle) while fingers etc. have skeleton muscles. I don't know if they can do that. Although that talk was in 2011
How are you typing this tho?
