Here’s a video of article featured couple weeks ago about bionic arms…
Not quite as agile as Steve Austin but still very impressive, this video show’s Jesse Sullivan with two robotic arms. It is controlled using his own nerves, allowing him to control the robotic limbs as if they were his own….
Here’s another cool bionic arm being developed by Darpa!
Darpa, the Pentagon’s blue-sky research division, now wants to ratchet that work up about ten notches, by developing a “neurally controlled artificial limb that will restore full motor and sensory capability to upper extremity amputee patients. This revolutionary prosthesis will be controlled, feel, look and perform like the native limb.”
Hmm…cool biornic ears, great stuff~
Boston Scientific’s bionic ear gets FDA approval today, perfectly timed to save the hearing of Metallica fans rounding 40+. The piece delivers 120 spectral bands, which is 5-10 times more than the competition. Hmm…120 bands? I bet that makes the world sound as if it were in MIDI. The internal sound processor hooks into the brain, while the external processor automatically adjusts gain to make speech clearer, whispe

Here’s a new website that has videos of medical surgeries, the one shown here is kinda long but it’s a video on Minimally Invasive Thyroid Surgery.
Click on the middle parts of the video to see the surgery in action, kind of arrrr….
If you are going to be a doctor one day, this might help you…
Here’s some cool technologies used for football these days including water cooling system, Hit System that measures Gs, Bod Pod, Cooling Shirts, and more…
Bionic arms coming to life, the first time I saw these in the movies, this is really getting better and better.
Everytime I goto ESC (Embedded Systems Conference), it seems like Kent displays is among the top pioneers of powerless LCD displays.
If you have any apps requiring powerless LCDs (that’s right, they are powerless!), I suggest you check these guys out.
Yes, these LCD are cool, I’ve seen them in real life, they require no POWER! You need power to change to displaying text or graphics but once you set them, they require no power…very useful, I believe a lot of new products are being developed using these LCDs…kinda pricey though…
Soon, the world will no longer need humans for laboring jobs.But that is good news for some and bad for some. At least…
“The robot offers all the benefits that robots normally do. It can work very fast, preparing up to 100 prescribed doses an hour. It does not make mistakes like people regularly do.”
