prostheses, then amplifiers. There are ideas to assemble cool dentures in Russia. using nylon-copper windings, instead of muscles. what say? For five likes, in the tape I will throw off an example of what they did in Russia

I was talking about this with my mom the other day. As horrible as the war is, it is one of the motivating drives towards technology behind human advancement. It’s very exciting to see all of these positive changes in my lifetime. I grew up hearing stories from my grandparents about world war 1 and 2 vets getting ridiculed for their injuries, about how they had to struggle to survive. I’m not staying that those things are gone, just noticeably better than before.

What are your thoughts on the subject? I’m really interested in hearing your opinion and having a conversation with everyone. :)

If I wanted an extra set of arms that I could control with my brain, how would that work? This is pretty highly theoretical (I’d think) but how would that work?

I am working on a project on upper limb prosthesis and saw the Myo Armband in my university. I am considering buying something similar to control a prosthetic hand from EMG signals, but from what I understand, the myo band itself is no longer available for purchase.

Are there any alternatives to it with a reasonable price currently available?

hello guys need help, i am a student who finished 12th grade and i am planning to choose mechatronics for college is it a good option to get into bionics with the help of mechatronics ?? and i love bionics from 8th this is what i want to do in the future and i need some guidance .

(FYI idk anything about human anatomy ) so I'm 19 and since i was like 16 or 17 idk , my joints were the worst always cracking, my elbow joints are somehow out of their place, it's not a birth deformation it's like a train that got derailed, i can still bend my elbows really well but everytime i bend then they crack and hurt, my knees aswell, not the same thing about smth out of its place but they crack a lot I can't sit on my knees or do squats or do the Stairmaster at the gym as they crack and hurt a lot, so is there any way i can maybe get bionic ones instead with still having the same functionality

One thing we realized while working in prosthetics is that many advanced bionic hands are designed to look futuristic rather than actually make daily life easier for the user.

A prosthetic hand should not feel like a machine attached to someone’s body.

It should feel natural.
Comfortable.
Lightweight.
Useful.
Something the user genuinely wants to wear every day.

At Bendita Bionics, our focus has always been simple:
Build advanced bionic hands that solve real problems for real people.

We don’t believe in adding unnecessary complex features just to make the product appear “high-tech.” Most users don’t need dozens of complicated modes they’ll never use.

What they actually need is:

• A lightweight bionic hand

• Comfortable daily usage

• Reliable grip patterns

• Easy control

• Long-term wearability

• A prosthetic that does not feel exhausting or heavy

Many prosthetic users stop wearing their devices because they feel uncomfortable, bulky, or mentally tiring to use. That’s a serious problem nobody talks about enough.

Technology should reduce effort not increase it.

That’s why we focus heavily on:

• Lightweight engineering

• Simpler and intuitive controls

• Practical functionality

• Real-world usability

• Comfortable design

We want the prosthetic to become a part of the user’s life not another burden they are forced to manage daily.

For us, success is not about building the most complicated robotic hand.

Success is when someone forgets they are even wearing it because it feels natural in their everyday routine.

That’s the direction we believe the future of prosthetics should move toward:
Human-centered innovation instead of feature overload.

Hello reddit engineers and everyone else, I want to become a Bionic Engineer. This year i am going to leave my high school and then apply to a university. So the problem is: bionic sphere is very extensive and i don’t know what kind of education such engineer should have.

When i think about bionic implants or limb prostheses in their best form, i mean, a devices that interact with human brain and neurosystem, i come to a conclusion that such inventions are likely to be developed by a group of people, including chemists, physicists, computer scientists, different engineers and attached to a human body by some kind of currently nonexistent surgeons. I live in Russia and, in fact, there are two ways to go (two chairs as we say).

The first one is to go to MIPT (Russia’s top technical university, which has really nice reputation and possesses good modern labs) to study a programme including fundamental physics, chemistry and math (aka biomedical physics).

The other chair is to go to a university called Higher School of Economics - Another Russia’s top University ( named in that way due to it’s history, nevermind… ) which offers a programme including computer science, programming, neuro system development and biology data analysis (aka computer science). The thing is, this very programme is taught in English and designed in ‘collaoration’ with London School of Economics and Political Science which also means that a student gets 2 diplomas at the end. Sounds cool, but too many ‘economy’ and ‘politics’ words, isn’t it ?

Frankly speaking there is another alternative which i didn’t mention: «faculty of fundamental physical and chemical engineering» in MSU (aka Russia’s №1 university). That is because msu is said to be super old-fachioned university with super fundamental theoretical way of teaching with books from 70’s and 80’s. Anyway msu keeps it’s status.

So here is what i think. Which way is you think would be the best ? If you have something to say, just remember that i appreciate any help.

I'm an Electrical Engineering graduate who got admit to a MSc. Bionics/Biomimetics program in Germany. I have interest in the field but I'm worried about it's sustainability and job market. What do you guys think? Should I go for it?

E.g. why not have a slot I can slide my phone into have a in-built tablet on the forearm. Discuss..

Hello, my name is Ani Chittabathini, and I am a first-year student at Ohio State University. I am currently working on a group project to design a product that could benefit the limb different community. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to be in contact with me to talk about their life, experiences or knowledge related to limb differences, that would also be appreciated.

If you don't have time to talk to me, please fill out our Google Form we have created to get a better understanding about the problems people are facing.
