As a left hand amputee the issue is not the ability of the hands. We've for a very long time had articulating hands that could do most of the movements that a human hand can do. Its the interface which is severely lacking. Myo has serious limits in how many inputs it can take and how many inputs the arm can provide.

If there’s technology that can read the muscles with the electrodes couldn’t we do connect some electronic tentacles to a back and make it where it reads different muscle movements in the back as the signals. (Doctor octopus style)

how do i join the hackssmith grupe

OK, so on the meta quest headsets there is hand tracking and you should try to make the hand compatible with the vr

Human bone is stronger then steel and concrete?!.

I'm having a hard time believing that we're so close to actual functioning Star Wars technology. What a time to be alive!

Yes, muscul sensors are from 70-s - real star wars tehnology lol

The whole hacksmith team is too good for this world. They chose to give her the Gatorade bottle to flip and cheered her on like it was the greatest thing any of them had ever seen. Wish we had more people like this

This one ties for coolest prosthetic video I've seen on YouTube. While this has insanely cool implications for so many people, watching Nerdforge design, iterate and fit her own personal prosthetic using a 3D printer and some creativity is just as cool. It's crazy that we live in a word where a person can literally make their own prosthetic. And these Psyonic ones are just as fascinating. What a time to be alive.

BIG fan of this style of video. Nice work!

I agree. It was super professional and informative. James was also a great interviewer- he was interested in the subjects and really let everyone explain themselves well.

Hey Zack, how about getting one of these and break them apart :) would be cool to see this kind of tech from the inside

Can we see inside of it ?

like everyone else is saying, you should do a durability test and breakdown of it :)

oh hey 👋 watch ur videos

This is incredible technology. I didn't realize prosthetics were at this level. And so glad to see the CEO so enthusiastic about the technology and his product.

I wonder how well a winter soldier metal arm type of design would work, it would have a lot of mobility but it’s very compact too. The scale like structure would just allow for the most movement possible. Depending on how good the technology gets for these prosthetics we could definitely see something like Bucky’s metal arm.

Well u could give it a metallic paint job cuz lets be honest a real metal arm would be way too heavy. Bucky could carry it no problem only cuz he was juiced up like captain

To me this is what Engineering is all about, making a positive change in the lives of everyday people. Great video and really like the change of pace from the regular videos. Keep up the great work guys and girls !

These guys should get as much support as they can get, this tech is going to change peoples lives for the better I am legit moved to tears when Ani started doing things with the ability hand and it looking soo natural Adeel and his team need to keep fighting the good fight and keep the passion alive

In a world that can sometimes seem so drab this is so awesome to see! We are truly starting to live in the future! Also, I loved this style of video, keep it up!

This is so cool. Im glad that society is finally getting to the point that people will be able to actually be capable of getting prosthetic limbs.

Ever since i understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I longed for the iron cold certainty of steel. I aspired to the blessed machine.

I'm really happy that such amazing development is being put into something so important. The part where they do the demonstration over video call is my favorite. They give that guy the lightsaber to grab and his face lights up 😊😊

I have been following bionic limb development for years. It had been so exciting seeing scfi become reality. I recently started medical school so now I can kinda imagine myself getting into the industry in the future. I presume i should be studying a lot of neurology.

Thank you for reminding me why I want to do this as a career. I love helping people as well as advancing human technology and this checks both of those boxes

Wow, I'm blown away by how amazing this bionic hand is.

This is absolutely incredible! It’s awesome to see how far technology has come especially when it comes to prosthetics. Well done Psyonic, brilliant work, keep it up! And well done Hacksmith for bringing attention to Psyonic’s tech to a bigger audience. The Future is Now.

I legit forgot Ani was missing her arm during this until she took it off, it felt so natural the way she behaved with it and moved it that i forgot it wasn't just a glove over a real hand, really hopefull for this tech to go even further

Honestly her dexterity with it was impressive

It looks like she just has a long glove honestly.

yeah, t he moment they can rotate the wrist without having to do it manually, that it, almost a 100% functional hand

@@victorgrandamancebo5582 Yeah i noticed it was the main thing they couldn't do also bend the wrist too, not just rotating, maybe when they get bone attachments they can rotate it and alsp get a way to control the bending there

I’m a bit late to the party, but I just wanted to say how I find this so amazing because my girlfriend is the same limb cut off that ani has, Symbrachydactyly I believe that’s what it’s called and I can’t wait to show her this video. But we’ve been dating for about 10 months and there are times when I get shocked a little bit because I forgot she’s missing half her left arm. But she’s an amazing person and is far more talented than I am. She is an amazing artist and fashion designer. I am so lucky.

Very inspiring stuff. Thanks for making the film. One thing that wasn't mentioned was whether the software will be open sourced at some point. It would be tragic to have to rely on this technology but then back-end support goes away if the company changes direction, obsoletes certain models or even goes out of business. Reparability and spare parts availability are also an issue especially if supplying to less-developed countries. I really hope this company is successful.

I imagine a market for jail breaking and pirating the software would open up quickly in that case, especially if somewhere like the EU mandated consumer protections like that. Similar to what they did with apple and phone chargers, and hopefully in the right to repair debates.

I think this is amazing both for those who have actually lost their arms and for the simple idea that they could be better eventually. also with the new cyberpunk release you guys gotta do something cyberpunk if not mantis blades being iconic something more like the arm cannon they have

That looks awesome wonderful job! I'd be great to see a working mantis blades from Cyberpunk made by them :D

I used to watch these channels like 5 or 6 years ago. I recently started to binge on some of the newer videos and I'm so proud of the progress and improvements in both the video quality and the scales of the projects themselves. I'm so glad that you're using your channel to spread awareness of this new and growing industry in technology. You've inspired me to see engineering as more than another boring math and science subject. You've helped me enjoy learning and discovering different topics. I now want to either be a mechanical engineer or maybe study engineering physics. I thank you and will always be grateful for being a part of such a pivotal part of my childhood. I hope you guys realize that you're inspiring a whole generation to take on engineering and have fun learning new things.

Amazing advancements. I’m curious if it’s possible to automate the twisting of the joints. It might take some innovation but after that we pretty much got fully functional hands. Would need some more programming to make the fingers swivel but after that we have hands that could do everything natural hands can do and possibly better. Attachment to bones and nervous system would probably be the next step

This is actually one of the best filmed, edited, and narrated videos y’all have made

I completely agree.

I thought this video was posted 3 minutes ago

Same

It's been 4 minutes since it was released calm down 😭

fantastic video, references back to the first hacksmith vids with limb assistance, but taken up so many levels. Thank you for highlighting this and supporting the community where you can most amazing changes. Hope to see more like this.

This is super interesting and I'm happy to see prosthetic tech chugging along. That being said a pretty glaring flaw is that it seems the wrist is either very limited or entirely non functional. A big example is during the bottle flip, most people will use their wrist to flick it, she had to use her entire body

Wow, this is such an amazing hand! The strength and durability are super impressive, thank you so much for making this video! 💜

Very cool. I'd love to hear more about how the interface and the feedback works! Idea on how to implement this in a cool hacksmith project: find muscles, that are rarely used but can be trained (like the ones that move your ear). attach sensors to it (maybe in a cool helmet) and build a suit with two extra arms that are controlled with these muscles. Or maybe just a proof of concept where you move one servo with your ear muscles?

This was cool to see and learn more on their development process, I wouldn't mind seeing more of these types of videos.

15:39 Love the fact that hey have a middlefinger option in the app, it wouldn't be fair if people with a prostetic couldn't flip somebody off.

What? No, it's definitely not vulgar! It's DEFINITELY just a baseball sign in case a catcher needs to use the hand /s

I need that right now, I am lacking the basic ability to flip someone off and that needs to change.

I really like the idea of someone giving the finger with with this hand, removing the hand from its socket, gesture as if to give it to someone, but then immediately throw it behind them as to literally "not give a flying fuck"

but then they'd have to go get it, awkwardly.

@@Toastmaster_5000 thats the most beautiful thing I have ever heard

This is a subject I've been interested in my whole life. It's marvellous to see how the technology has progressed from the pincer-type prosthetics I saw as a child to these advanced modern prosthetics with haptic feedback. Hope to see many more improvements in years to come.

This is awesome! One thing I find really interesting about these arms is the speed, the few other prosthetic arms I've encountered in the past they would take a few seconds to open or close when grasping something, but this one is way faster.

I’m just so amazed that we can now almost replicate the lost abilities for those brave unfortunate people, the story of the soldier really hits me, every time I see something like this I reflect on how I can sometimes take things for granted and other times (being greedy) I think about how awesome it would be to have a second pair of hands like the mortal combat guy or DockOck from Spider-Man

Really great and interesting video! Love all the hacksmit builds but insights in future technologys also really fits this channel! Keep it up 🤟

Watching how prosthetics and bionic limbs have evolved over the years is nothing short of fascinating

Aadeel actually spoke to our Bioengineering Seminar class this past Spring semester. Apparently, one of our engineering professors was good friends with him, so we were able to speak to him over zoom and get a Psyonic hand for demos. Definitely the coolest thing I saw in that class!

I'm trying to remember which Bioengineering Seminar class this was, haha.

The pressure feedback system is a real game-changer. Able-bodied people with all their limbs don't tend to realise how amazing it is that we can use our hands whilst hardly ever looking at them, and yet get the perfect level of grip on an object pretty much _every_ time. When you're suddenly made aware of it, like watching a video such as this one, it makes you realise just how complex and amazing the human body is - and how much of our bodily actions/functions are almost completely automated, without need for concious processing, focus or thought. Also makes you wonder, just how much of me is actually _me_ in control, and how much is my body just a pre-programmed robot that I'm merely occupying and taking a ride in.

I few months before this vid I had created a design just like that but also with a mix of that Bucky arm you made I’m happy to see people finally noticing how big these things are starting to become and I hope that at one point that everyone will have access to things like this

Amazing video, I love your normal stuff but this one I have to say is the best you have done, the subject matter as well was just perfect, keep up the brilliant work and happily watch more like this raising awareness of similar issues where tech is making a big difference

I love this style of videos:) It seems that, from the user input standpoint, it's not really _that_ ground-breaking (though seeing how little surface area is needed to resolve separate signals is really impressive- by the way, cheers Ani, you're awesome!), but the standpoint of "our product can achieve the same level of usability as others- now, how we can make it more robust and affordable for people who need it" is absolutely outstanding! Best wishes to the whole Psyonic team- it's amazing to see how far prosthetics progressed, and I can't wait so see what the future can bring:)

Yeah sEMG is standard stuff and not that complicated for TMR or kind of healty muscles. It gets difficult if there are more scars than muscle or the muscles have not been moved in 30 years because of nerve damage

This is absolutely fascinating. I was unable to use my left leg for 5 years so I truly know how devasting losing/not-having a limb can be on your day-to-day life and quality of life. This tech is game-changing. I'm so glad more people have access to these prosthetics, it's amazing.

5 years? What happened? Did you regain functionality?

First of all, you're looking great, James. Younger, well rested, and it feels you're calmer, so I hope that's the case and you're getting better and better. About this Bionic Hand... this is the kind of things that give me back my hope in humankind. This kind of inventions, this kind of amazing technology made to actually improve life, not to wildly consume or destroy it. I'm happy to see that you're making them get more visual, because their job is really difficult and really special. Thank you for being who you are, Hacksmith team. And of course, thank you Psyonic for doing such a great task!

Trust me that wouldn’t be the incoming breakthroughs in the coming decades, if everything about the world went well then we just might still be alive and still have that freedom to witness or be informed about those breakthroughs.

There was a point when he looked at the camera and started talking with a smile on his face and my face lit up, "Oh my goodness, he's so handsome!" His energy and presence brought me back to the James from just a few years ago when it was just him and this dream. He truly sparkled today; what a star.

Wow this looks awesome! I am excited to see the future of this product. Technology is still progressing faster than ever, and it keeps opening new doors for innovators and engineers alike.

You and me both!

I cleaned up some fire damage for a company called Touch Bionics years ago. I still have some of the prosthetics that were thrown away after the fire. My half melted robot hand is one of my prized possessions.

This blew my mind!!! It's amazing how far this technology has come. Keep making videos like this please!

Absolutely amazing, 20 years ago this was impossible, they can do nothing but improve it from here i wonder how impressive it will be in the next 20 years?

Awesome vid guys. I love that these companies are getting together to help those who need it. Big love from me guys.

It was really cool to be part of this video, I had a lot of fun controlling the hand! BTW The Hacksmith Shirt is seriously the most comfortable shirt I own. Ya'll should get one!

How does it feel?

What’s the material? I’d really like to know @MetaMortis or @Hacksmith

cotton with 5% spandex for a super comfy and stretchable fit!

@@theHacksmith Cool, thanks That sounds perfect

@@AdhvaithSane it's honestly very misleading looking to me. I thought it was going to be a regular cotton shirt like any typical shirt, or especially any I bought as merchandise. It's actually more like an athletic fit or breathable one. It's quite stretchy and smooth making a very soft feel. Feels like wearing a silk athletic fit shirt that is insanely comfortable. I regret not having bought it sooner and will be getting more for sure.

It would be a huge step forward in human history, and there will definitely be a need for a prosthetic hand: it's pretty cool that this technology has really advanced. I took a good look at my hands and they are indeed very complex things that most of us don't really think about benefiting those with disabilities, but you got these and it's really great

It’s amazing how well this arm works for these people with missing limbs, now I want to see the ability to feel through them be possible in the near future. Once we master that, we could truly enter into the world of cybernetics

Amazing work! Hacksmith has always been an inspiration, but this is going above and beyond to make the world a better place without asking anything in return! Amazing work i will continue to recommend for years to come.

Can't believe he cut off his own arm to test the prosthetic. True dedication to the craft.

I always enjoy Hacksmith videos; I LOVED this publication. Enlightening, wholesome, and a positive with a real world and life changing subject. I'm here for it.

I had been wondering about the advancement of this type of technologies for a while. This is a nice update.

It is so cool that you visited them, I have seen the previous version of their hand on YouTube. It’s just great what they are doing!

His enthusiasm is amazing!!! Especially for a product that really helps people!!

This is some of my favorite robotics. It's always amazing to see cutting-edge engineering at work to help people. I work on processors, and while they aren't medical in nature, seeing CPUs or GPUs I've worked on used to improve lives.

Being someone who grew up the honor of being friends who happened to be in wheelchairs. I always get a thrill seeing these assistive technologies. If i had known this was going to be something to see and utilize I would have joined :)

Being a Retired Green Beret, I have friends with limb issues and other war-related debilitating injuries, so to see you guys putting this up front is so AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for serving. I feel sad that my mental, developmental, and physical issues made me incapable to serve myself.

Reminds me of Nick Machine Lavery.

as someone who plays a lot of VR chat the feeling of being able to touch something without your nerves or physical body touching them is called phantom sense, if the brain believes that you are actually touching something it will recreate the feeling of it being touched even if the nerves aren't there. a lot of people have it in vrchat and now with these arms, the brain is truly amazing!

10 years ago they had protestics that could let the user have sensations in the robotic hand. im impressed with how far they are going and im also spooked cause i do see a day where people choose to be amputated for a improved limb

feels like we're getting closer to the cyberpunk 2077 world

Though I like the lightsaber thing, and I am also convinced that it is an absolute game changer in weaponry, I always thought that there needed to be better artificial limbs, and something like what is in this video has gone a LONG way in making that happen. I do hope that further advances happen, and that said limbs can even be built with a lattice work of the cells of the person that had lost the limb as well. I am serious, with this kind of technology that is in prosthetics, you all could literally make a multi-billion dollar company out of that alone. I also have the perfect name for this company and it would be called Rockbell Automail Company, Limited, as the bionic limb design is similar to the advanced artificial limb designs that Winry Rockbell makes in the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise.

Only thing that I really noticed with Ani was she was manually rotating her hand. Giving her the rotational movement of the radius/ulnar without compromising the slim forearm packaging she has would be a pretty big game changer. Maybe using a servo up near the socket with a cable drive that terminates at the wrist?

Wow this is actualy amazing. I have no knowledge on bionics or engineering at all but ive always been curious and interested on how much funtionality they bring to humans intimayely and this is like seeing something from FMA or star wars with lukes prosthetic. I wonder if well ever get to a point where neurotic sensors will be implimented and you would actualy be able to feel sensations and even more so. This is inovation that truly serves people in a good way.

You look ten years younger than the last time I saw you in a video. Whatever you've been doing, its working! For the first few minutes I honestly wasn't sure if it was really you, or one of the guys who adopted your hairstyle. The bionic hand is cool as well and production on this video was one of your best. So thats working too.

Lol, I think it was mainly a haircut and shaving. Hopefully maybe a bit of therapy doing it's work and livening him up too

I was ecstatic when I saw this! I plan on doing prosthetics as my career in the future and I'm currently getting my prerequisites for a nursing program as a gateway (and just overall good career for me) into prosthetics!!

This was so awesome, really a fan of the positive message. Keep it up.

Bionic limbs are the coolest thing ever. Can't wait for the future!

As someone who has been in a wheelchair since I was 2 and a huge advocate for the disabled community it is awesome to see videos like this that show the amazing technology being made to help people living with disabilities!!!! And as someone who is currently studying electrical engineering I am getting very inspired to create some awesome tech to help people on my community!

Honestly love when you guys post videos like this where you show off other's amazing enginerring developments whether theyre just cool or life changing like this, honestly would love more content like this (might also allow for more time on other projects in the schedule😂)

This is so amazing! Thanks for showcasing this!

Two things one the movie industry will go crazy when you don’t need to gci moving cutoff appendages like for a horror movie and two James is looking great and its good to see him back on the channel

Awesome video quality! I love the idea of helping people who are on their last leg. 😉

I love it so much. You inspired me so much to create and learn even harder. Thank you

So something I'd love to see is and im sure theres people here who know what i mean but when your doing auto body work and you feel a panel I'd love to see the hand developed to that level because to me its the most hand sensitive thing you can do and you have to learn how to feel high and low spots in the metal and filler so I wonder if it'll ever develop to that but this is still incredibly cool and I didn't think we'd make it this soon I'd thought it would've taken years longer to get this level of technology

This would be a logical partnership....you're building lightsabers so there's definitely gonna be demand for prosthetic hands EDIT: This is seriously cool how far this kind of tech has come. Getting to talk to some people that are using it as well and getting their take on things was neat. Kinda made me take a bit of look at my hands, they really are pretty complex things for all most of us don't really think too much about them

when are we gonna get prosthetic hands with built-in lightsabers

@@somegremlin1596 that would be just an ironman glove lmao

12:12 - the image on this moment is awesome, and also shows how amazing work this hand is. The hand just feels so much more superior in technology than the whole robot. I understand it's different, but just look! the robot is bulky with motors and the hand is shiny and have curves, it just feels like you want the whole robot to look like this hand.

1. im glad ppl started to develop byonic limbs 2. it also looks rly aesthetic

I find bionic hand tech to be so interesting and I know that it makes the difference for so many

Amo, mi sueño es poder estudiar ingeniería biomedica para poder diseñar y crear prótesis como estas para ayudar a las personas

I've been on this ever since middle school. And I gotta say, robotic hands are getting faster. In 2018 there was like a 600 or 700 millisecond slower than the average speed a real hand moves. Fascinating to see a robotic hand move just as fast as a normal hand.

I have to be honest I was aware of this company because I have always been into robotics, and always wondered how a cyborg would look like in real life ( not just in movies). Its very cool that you are doing this, and raise awareness of this. I am originally from Iraq, back home there is A LOT of people with missing limbs. So a very cool colaboration. But guys talking about that gift you were given. This hand/arm is begging to be a winter soldier. The colour is perfect because it matches his wakanda arm (or you can paint it). Ideally you find a person who is missing an arm or part of it and integrate the bionic with a full arm sleeve that looks like metal or is also made put or carbon fibre. The carbon fibre won't be expensive as a material if you did it yourself, but its a pin to deal with and mold to someones arm. Essentially you are just doing an extension of the sleeve, no mechanical additions are needed because they made all of them. The hand is quite small in size judging by the footage so don't find massive guy with no left arm, find an average sized man 5.8-5.10 with a slightly muscular body... Basically Bogdan. Come to think about it just chop Bogdans left arm from the elbow down and they you got the perfect video,  LMAO 😂am joking, please don't ban me.

Been playing Cyberpunk a lot recently. The thought that such effective prosthetics are becoming more of a reality is super cool to me! Maybe we'll get our mantis blades in this lifetime afterall :b

as a huge fan of c2077 - I would love if this tech could pick up when harming another person, so that it stops working

This hand design combined with the imaging tech shown in YouTube's AI series when it gets more compact can possibly create a fully articulatible hand on par with muscle and bone but stronger and its amazing that's on the horizon. I just hope we dont have people doing it who didn't need the limb removed. "From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh" and all that.

This is incredible. One thing I've wondered, is if you can link up the finger tip sensors to the toe tips of the cooresponding foot, just to get more fidelity on the touch feedback with a shoe insert. Training the brain to subconsciously associate inputs from touch on other parts of the body with actions of a prosthetic have been done, and toes seem to be the most effective place for finger input senses to originate for a neural link

That's interesting to think of. That being said I dunno how I'd feel having my toes feel like they're getting touched when ever I go to pick up a glass of water

Man... I wanted to do Mechantronics with a focus in bionics back in 2011 but people laughed me off and I burned out of college. If I could get a job with this company I'd love to work like sales or something, bringing these to people who need them.

I'm looking forward to seeing more about the strength and responsiveness of this hand. Ian Davis has a channel where he's been building his own fully mechanical hand because of the durability, strength, and responsiveness issues he found with existing hands.

Ian Davis is one of the smartest men alive. And his unique situation(how much of his hand is still there) lets him do things that these robotics people just straight up can't.

The functionality that guy gets from relatively simple mechanical solutions, cleverly implemented, from one guy working in a pretty modest home-shop, is absolutely incredible.

I love Ian Davis’s videos and prosthetics! He’s so good.

Super cool design! Just hope they keep the affordability aspect!! As someone with a missing limb and who uses these prosthetics, they can be expensive!

Bionic arms have shown up in many movies, games, and tv shows. Star Wars Episode 5 was the first one I saw, then came episode 6, then episodes 2 and 3. Then I saw Fringe, a TV series from 2008. A major character in that show has a very advanced bionic arm.

I love your channel! Been watching since you worked out of the garage! This video is not only wholesome but very cool! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK HACKSMITH INDUSTRIES!

This seems like the natural evolution of your channel. Kudos and godspeed🙏🖤

Definitely a great thing to exist. I can even see this technology do great things for people who cannot walk. People with severe bone and muscular conditions that makes them increasingly weak to the point where they can barely move eventually losing that ability. Heck even people with brittle bones where a little too much pressure can snap them. I am curious to see if they not only expand their operations but, also expand their fields of expertise once they get bigger to help an even larger number of people gain a semblance of normalcy.

I've loosely followed the progress of bionic limbs over the past few years and I'm truly amazed at how explosive the progress has been!

The thing with this technology too is its not just restricted to prosthetics - you could augment an able bodied person with additional limbs, you could use the control system to run an exoskeleton, you could use it to control an entire robot or machine from the third person.

This is actually a more proper version of a theory I had for getting proper robotics to work. Using pulley and cirvo motors, you could theoretically (although not cheaply keep in mind) create a proper functioning robot. Use specific sensors for balance (such as what a phone uses to judge whether you rotate your phone or not). So we're even closer than I thought to true cyborgs/robots.

I would love to see a more in depth video about how a person operates one of these.

Was awesome meeting you a few months ago : D Bionics are getting crazy can't wait to see where they go from here!

As someone that loves the advancement and field of prosthetics, this is so damn cool to me
