@@exorcistgg9833 actually not but whatever
I actualy laughed out loud when I saw this coment
@Angello! R. For now, yes. Give it a few years.
This man really added pinky toe sensors so he can still stub his toe on his bionic foot
Commitment
now he just needs to step on lego
No pain No gain
Its useful to know if you just kicked the child or a cat or put a hole in the wall with your new superhuman strength.
Being a amputee all my life I am now 37 I would pk over to be able to feel
"I've built an array of sensors which gave sensation to my bionic limb."

The true phantom pain
plot twist: it's the lego's time to suffer. the sensation is of crushing it to dust. vengance.

Robbers: Ayo take his legs
*Rocket Raccoon has entered the chat*
Lol more like the cyborgs will be robbing regular people and being able to run away as fast as a car because they have bionic legs
And then you fire rockets from your legs that take the robbers out.

Absolutely amazing engineering. Hopefully we can refine this technology, waterproof it, figure out a long term power solution and make it affordable to the average person some day.
Arc reactor maybe😂
@@stockmarketblueprint Someone should lock you in a cave and not let you out until you have a prototype :)
меньше тратьте на полеты в космос и на военные разработки и в ближайшие 10 лет у вас будут прорывные технологии в области медицины.
It's the affordable part that is a killer. I am a bilateral below the knee amputee and my non bionic
prosthetics which do have servos cost $64K, about twice as much as the non servoed limbs.
Plus I had to get the new legs approved by an insurance company.
@@f4ephantom 64000$ ? ну это очень много конечно, с другой стороны альтернатива только - инвалидное кресло.
I'm disabled and look forward to the day when these kinds of prosthetics are commonplace. I have not had an amputation but I have a hereditary condition that causes significant pain and loss of mobility. I would have this procedure in a heartbeat if it meant I could do physical activities again.
Mark my words. In 10 years they're going to rebrand the paralympics the Cyberlympics and it's going to be the dopest thing on TV.

He already knew about these prosthetics.
lmao yea
theres nothing like a REAL leg or foot take care people
i know under certain circumstances its only possible to make best of what has happened
but if you can. exercise daily. im only 23 so im not in a position to tell anybody what to do. this is only my opinion
@@dewmontain123 there's also accidents and misfortune (e.g. natural disaster, terrorist attack), or being born with a condition like the guy in the video. Not everything can be prevented with exercise.
Just the fact that they had a sensor to be able to bend the foot amazed me then they say you can touch where your pinky toe would be and you can actually feel it as if it were there? Wow that is that is just ridiculously amazing
"My entire life I never thought that I would be where I am now having had an amputation."

"I have an opportunity to engineer my own body and I had always dreamed about that."

though i have mad respect for the guy but Holy Hell ,Hugh Herr's entry at 2:38 is like that of a future business overlord
Hugh Herr is a fellow to be taken seriously... :)
Very true
He sounds like he is going to start some sort of army
"This is it"
I so hope he never covers those prosthetic, the way he walked in with that power stride showing the double amputation was just inspiring, if he had his pants rolled down you would never know he did not have the lower portion of his legs. he owned it.
i wonder if people with prosthetic legs can increase their height to like 7 ft long lol
This is the most literal "And then I took it personally" reaction to solving a crippling condition after something went wrong. Not that it's a bad one. Godspeed to you people. May you one day feel as the machine replacement not even there.
I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my engineering degree, honestly my motivation has been lacking but this has honestly moved me soo much , I want to devote my life to upgrading the human body with extensions that exceed normal human capabilities. I’m so wow’d

Unbelievable technology. As a physical therapist, it is wonderful to see technology give people sensation and motor control back. This technology will change the world and provide an excellent quality of life to many people that otherwise would be limited by traditional prosthetics.
I am so thankful we have engineers and people like you in this world! Hats off!
"those are live wires" ... proceeds to touch them anyways. Kids are hilarious
I was showing a kid a battery and how it sparked and told him if he kept doing it it might light on fire. He kept doing it for like a minute after lol.
Cracked me up
"Great, dead wires would be sad anyway :)"
Imagine if he touched the connections, dude would litterally feel his little toe when not even close to it
@@lengaming1651 imagine having a "smart" IoT compatible foot (it'll happen eventually lol 😔), and then someone hacks it to make you feel max intensity tickling on loop until you turn it off or hopefully just hit a reset or disable touch switch (or setting in an app on your phone).
I love how he casually was like "yeah once I was running from a bear on this road." Wtf? ,😂
"i was running from a bear on this road and broke my leg" i know its just a brief explanation for the topic but how the fuck did the bear not get him at that point?
@@TheDaxter11 I believe he said it was a black bear, which usually don't confront humans. He probably ran due to fear, thus causing him to sharply press his foot against the hard rock and break it. The bear probably just wandered off, I hope.

"We end disability".
What a powerful sentence, I love it.
Wow this is pretty fucking epic. Definitely feels like we’re beginning to see the future
you can't seethe future.. you mean you are beginning to see movie references.
@Ribshok Productions suxk you own puss*
In ten years this technology will receive the same innovations as cellphones in that they will try a prosthetic which instead of several buttons controlling specific spots, there will be a sort of touch screen for your prosthetic. A prosthetic able to provide more accurate and acute sensation. The same way analog phones switched to touch phones, just with prosthetics.
Nah the future is complete limb regeneration
The future doesn't exist
Making these things possible for his son must be an infinite pool of motivation.
Yes, the power of that hit me when he spoke about his son being born with the club foot too. It reminded me of a body builder who was able to smash a dead lift record by thinking of pulling the coffin of his recently passed mother up from the grave and wanting her to be restored to life. Deep inspiration is very powerful.
He said the science cought up and they're able to correct it it now. So his son will not have a prosthetic
Early orthopedic intervention now corrects club foot deformity. (Temporary Casts and braces)
@@michaelatkin9649 best case.
no one watched the video well enough to know his son didn't need the robot leg
This should have global attention. Period. This is too important to not be shared.
Doctor: You have lost your leg. Would you like us to build you a new one?
Guy: No thanks, I could do it myself.
That "Woah" when he "feels" his little toe got me in the feels.
When he said "Woah"
I felt that.
That "woah".................. the feeling i got
They way he said “those are live wires” killed me lol
Shouldn't have touched them then 😬🤣
He probably had 200-300 volts in there to run the skin ticklers. Probably not much current, but it'd still give you a nasty little shock.
Progress and inventiveness motivated by love and kindness. Beautiful.
That kid has a great father
How nice to have a mentor to bring you to MIT's biomechatronics lab when you're facing amputation.

The fact that he managed to get sensation back is incredible. I feel like that's the biggest step in bionics is not just getting signals out, but getting them back.
@WillRQ I hope that people using them for combat will be in the minority
@WillRQ why the „but“?
@WillRQ just have a switch for on off
I’m in amputee and let me tell you something you don’t ever lose the sensation I could feel my toes just like they were there
@@dominicstocker5144 thats such an american thought
If you have your knee, you still have a leg. Losing a knee, as my husband did as a child, is a completely different ballgame
This is such a life changing development. Thank you creating such a beautiful product for those in great need, especially for yourself. You are a true inspiration.
The fact that he could feel the son touching his robotic foot as if it was he's ACTUAL foot it's amazing
He can feel specific points on his foot, in the future hopefully it advances enough that people would be able to feel the whole foot as if it is there. It is amazing though but its only the begining
No its really weird
@Kingdoms you know what I mean, able to feel when any part of the foot was touched
@@zurielbabida8162 in what way is it weird trying to improve someone's life?

him walking with is family was so beautiful at the end! WOW
even with all the exposed wires and stuff it looks so much more natural in movement than other prosthetics out there. thats amazing
Exposed wires can get caught in anything and then be ripped, if brushed up against objects.
That is a problem that could easily be solved by adding some sort of plastic casing.
@@pinklady7184 It is a prototype, he is working on it. You don't close it up till the work is done
@@yourtubecards And even then there's always improvements to be made
The exposed wires probably aren't ideal from a longevity point of view, but aesthetically I found it really intriguing.
"oh THOSE are live wires" yeah that's an electrical engineer right there lol

Fine.. I'll do it myself.

Yeah, why didn't the bear chasing him have lunch ?
The bear felt bad after it made him break his leg and left.
Bear prolly wasnt chasing him he just saw the bear and his fight or flight response caused him to skdaddle
Don't tell me!...was it one of those animatronic bears?

I wonder if he could insulate them
i dont think its that hard to make them waterproof
@@ResasRandomStuff yeah, it actually would be pretty easy to weather proof the electronics. Obviously for prototyping having it exposed is easiest.
@@swiftsetrider4543 sure but it would be much harder for him to debug whats going on or make upgrades. Maybe is apple made a prostetic limb it would be flooded with silicon so no one can look inside
This is an astounding achievement of engineering. Amazing what humans can do.
It's incredible how true to life it moves, how they are able to get the sensation of touch and feel through leaving behind muscle during amputation. This is really incredible

dude your an amazing dad and father. you also are an amazing inventor. Do not give up! EVER
I'd much rather lose a leg than an arm. Replacement legs look much farther along than arms.
@divorcedme imagine how fast these limbs would advance if they were necessary to car manufacturing or commerce.
hmm tbh i would say arms are much farther then legs by a mile stone, legs are so much simple in comparison. what i will say how ever is due to arms being so much more complex they are less seen or made
yeah, there are far less important nerves that control leg function, and are easier to find/narrow down
Its cause its harder to make parts of whats left of your arm control 5 fingers including different amounts of pressure
I don't see myself going through this time without videogames, so yes, I'd prefer missing a leg than an arm
