Esper Hand is a "human-like" prosthetic arm that can be controlled by the mind

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มี.ค. 2022
- New York-based engineering startup Esper Bionics has developed a flexible prosthetic mind-controlled hand that learns how to suggest the best grip faster than similar prosthetics.
Esper Bionics' robotic arm is designed to be lighter and learn faster than many of the prosthetics currently available for amputees. The more the wearer uses the hand, the better and quicker it is to suggest the right grip.
Called Esper Hand, the arm uses an electromyography-based brain-computer interface (BCI) - a computer-based technology system that gathers brain signals and information from nerve stimulation of the muscle.
Over 30 sensors on the wearer's forearm and shoulder skin pick up on this muscle activity or "electrical cues" and relay the information to trigger an action in the hand.

I knew someone was going to post this. Well done.
This is incredible.
Great job to the engineers.
Scientists and mathematicians
@@ThaTrisme Mostly engineers.

@@lemons1559 for it to connect to the nerves and send information is science, and biology
@@oath4231 engineering is the application of science. Those biologists who make the nerve connections work are also engineers, just bioengineers of some sort.
These prosthetics are just a few steps away from the sci fi prosthetics , from movies to shows. Props to the engineers
I think the main difference is there's still no sense of touch. Sci-Fi prosthetics can feel touch. :)
I hope metal gear rising cyborg prosthetics come soon
It's getting there bit by bit but i can still tell that the arm has a lot of ground to cover before it can be 1:1 with a meat arm.
For one thing wrist movements are very limited
I feel like the model demo-ing the product is having to put in a bit of effort to make the hand take the proper shape.
When cutting the apple the action looked strange and unnatural because the model is doing all the cutting strength with her nubbin. A proper robotic prosthesis should be able to replicate things cutting using your wrist muscles.
We're not there yet but... we're getting closer.
@@Trifler500 go search "prosthetic technology", we can feel touch now.
Regards to the wars...
@@Trifler500 Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell, is a complete cyborg, she says that doesn't feel anything, only her ghost, this mean, her mind, it's not necessary feel everything.
I really hope this helps some people feel better about receiving a prosthetic, we live an age that technology can basically just give us a new limb, it’s very inspiring to see
Cyberpunk 2077
As long as this tech is used to compensate for amputations and other permanent injuries it will help
I dont believe general prostethics are like this. we are still on the cusp. this is tech of the future.
It’s nice but its probably only affordable for a select few.
@@red_swan_ Yeah, I did think about that. Obviously something like that costs for sure.
This is remarkable. This type of technology only gets better with time to give the wearer an even more true to life experience like using a biological limb. Thanks to companies like Esper who are working on this. It gives hope to amputees world wide. I also hope it won’t be as expensive to access.
To kill you in the future to
If its new utll probably be expensive for some time untill they can make more
@@doom5895 True…..unfortunately that’s how it goes. Hopefully insurance will cover the cost, depending on the circumstances that led to the loss of a hand. Or maybe alternative funding through Gofundme etc.
If things keep going like this soon i'll want to be an amputee and get all sorts of crazy limbs
@@caralho5237 Like a cyborg, lol…..nah, you wouldn’t want that.
Esper. Short for Esperanza. Spanish for Hope.
Judging by the numerous comments about amputees and their reaction to this video, I’d say it’s pretty fitting.
Esper means psychics
Esper
noun
A person supposed to have paranormal abilities.
XD Mi hermano, me gusta tu definicion pero estas botao
@@odisd.sorgur9145 Yes, since one can control the prosthetic with the mind, hence the name Esper. I just saw a fitting alternate take on the name and how there are quite a few comments of hope regarding this technology after losing (or never having) a normal part of their body.
I take care of new amputees of lower extremities from diabetic complications and it's not uncommon for one of their first reactions to be one of dread and hopelessness because a part of their own body is forever missing. Prosthetics that can mimic the function of the real counterpart, controlled by the mind, is extremely hopeful to amputees because it inches them closer to the normalcy they remembered, or never had. Hope.
This is a really sweet take on the word esper, though originally it was from the slang ESPer; ESPer is Extrasensory Perception with the -er addition to signify an individual in possession of such abilities.
I don’t think that’s what the intention was, but I do like your take on it
When humans decide to work for the benefit of humanity, we get things like this. Congratulations to all involved, truly amazing!
We’ve been doing that since the dawn of time.
Even tools of war are made for your benefit, even if you don’t understand it, and that’s just the most extreme example.
na, thats just for the money, no one will benefit from that because its to expensive anyway
i hope it is made available to those who dont have the money to pay for it. instead of being just a privilege for the rich.
@@tomecrespo3047 Any form of non-mainstream product is expensive because they are often either handmade or in a prototype stage. Mass production is needed, but for that you need a bigger budget, this is why you raise awareness so other innovative companies can have a look and maybe invest to create that mass production. Then it will get cheaper.
@@sabin97 Get economy classes and learn about products before you make stupid claims like that.
Brought tears to my eyes when she started brushing her hair. Simply amazing
We have no commments yet probably because this video rendered people speechless. However, I couldn't help but notice that it's the same video uploaded in 2020. I would love to know what has changed since then. Nonetheless, it's still very impressive, congratulations to all the engineers involved in the project.
I was thinking the exact same thing... What has changed...?
We are far from sci-fi agilité of prothèses. But yet that's really impressive to see the fierce and the little moves we can have with these. And the good news is that there à lot of possibilities to progress. Very exciting !
This prosthetic is really damn close though. There’s been so much progress in the dexterity prosthetics offer in the last half decade.
@@mikedevyatov3213 you're right. There is 50 years, we were with wooden leg, and now we have prosthetics with pretty good dexterity, fierce and even synaptic returns. But 50 years in science is like à little kid. There is a lot of possibilities of progress if we are ok to hiver money in research.
@Mike Devyatov far from close tbh. The speed of an actual arm is decades ahead.
Frenchie spotted.
@@vaalence9043 frenchie + auto-correct
Aww I loved seeing her smile
Make me a sammich woman
the genuine happiness in her face..❤️
the wrist needs more range of motion. It needs to be able to bend 90° to the front 45° to the back, left, and right. then the movement when controlling it will feel much more natural.
I agree entirely, id also believe the amount time to learn to use it would sky rocket as it would be far more intricate for the mind the concentrate on what it does
Apparently the video is from 2020 originally. So it's probably better by now
it also needs to shoot lasers
It's just startup
and the fingers, i hope theres a type of robotic arm that has fingers that move in all the angles we move ours
Imagine in 2030 or 2040 where the arm is more advanced, like wider wrist movements and silent joints for the fingers.
You don't write your own speeches, huh?
Wait till 2077

@@Animasterpro getting punched is life threatening already someone with that could kill police
I'd want mine to be like the MGS5 hand Snake has. That's the sort of thing people can be a little jealous of.
Whoever designed this technology is a genius
This is incredible. The advances made over the past twenty years with regard to prosthetic limbs is fascinating.
love watching these! not only cool to watch but also awesome to see how far prosthetics have come
agreed and to think what the tecknology will look like in 10 or 20 years from now.
@@Janbore probably something more along the lines of Cyberpunk 2077 in terms of performance
@@Janboreby then having biological arms might be a disadvantage compare to robotic arms
That is incredible…. Even with the limited control and dexterity it’s range of ability just blows me away.
As a kid I was a fan of The Six Million Dollar Man tv show. Never thought I would actually something like this become reality. Looking forward to see the technology progress further.
The precision on it looks amazing. This is great
So amazing. Now that they have progressed this far, just imagine how far this technology will advance in the next 20-30 years. After 16 months from a botched (in my opinion) carpal tunnel release surgery, that prosthetic hand has much more control and dexterity than mine.
I'd say 10 years from now it'll work like a real human limbs. Our technology innovation is exponential.
Im a big tech nerd and i was just thinking to myself how much we had advanced in the last 50 years and i was a little upset that our robotics and computer stuff hasn't advanced more than it already has. Im very picky when it comes to tech and im not easily impressed. And then i saw this... and seeing her smile at 0:45 makes me feel like we area really getting somewhere
Tech progress is crazy, just in a few years we went from 24nm chips to 5-6nm, this is totally wizardry.
And that's just one example, although one of the fundamental ones.
But yeah, controlling a robotic arm is something else. I wonder when we'll get tactile feedback (and would it be dangerous, because it could send a strong signal to your nervous system and that's pain).
@@cjnf11 We actually already have limited tactile feedback for some prosthetics, but they're not in common circulation just yet. They're also not quite at the level of natural human limbs, but I imagine they'll get there eventually.
A big tech nerd who hadn't heard of the work being done in robotics and prosthetics until seeing this video? Adds up.
@@mydogeatspuke yeah and your username sure reflects intelligence
@@joefries365 lol my username is factually accurate, and utterly hilarious. Don't be jealous.
Lo mejor del video son las expresiones de la chica, me alegro mucho de haber visto esa felicidad en su rostro
How does this not have millions of views!? Absolutely astonishing
I dont know how the training process works for this prosthetic but I'd like to suggest a procedure to the engineers:
1. Apply transducers all over the stump and connect to a computer.
2. Set up something like an Xbox kinect in front of the patient that views the intact arm.
3. Instruct the patient to move both arms (the real one and the phantom one) in a mirror image fashion while recording signals from the stump along with the spatial movement of the good arm. Include an object for the good arm to grab on to an manipulate that includes position and pressure sensors.
4. Combine all sensory data and kinect data to make the prosthesis mirror the movement and strength of the real arm.
Sure thing, I'll get right to it.
@@johndank2209 Bro is boutta solo it
It's such a good job that you offered your expertise for free in the comment section of the promotional video for this product, as the engineers were clearly struggling to make their product work properly. There's no way they could have done it without you.
That has to be the most nerve wrecking hand job in the world 😳
Outta this world 😍
Cursed comments never cease to surprise me
This is amazing! I hope it gets better and better over the years!
The fact that the dexterity has reached so far is incredible.
It fits her body and tone so well, it looks like she’s just wearing a glove. Truly amazing technology.
The usability aspect is great, but I think that if the depth of color changes depending on the temperature when picking up a cold or warm item, a more wonderful use will be realized.
This is amazing! I have no words to describe how cool it is! I hope such technology becomes more available in the future =]
That is truly amazing.
Watching this makes me think of all the wasted energy humans spend on other things. We could be living in space by now. Well done to these folk. Important things being done here. How it gets used will be the only concern for me. People making crazy modded versions etc mixed with 3d printing. Interesting time to be alive.
Sorry bro, it's more important to protect anal sex in the ukraine and babysit africans.
Indeed as long as humanity, dont cross the red line that is a possible for nuclear extinction could be a possibility in this present time we live in or in the future.
I hope we just stay in peace ...and obviously, work together as an intelligent species and the technology we have would drastically improve better and better. And i hope at some near future, we get to achieve as an interstellar civilization just as you said it. 👍
Had 8+ surgeries on my left hand, can't even straighten my fingers or make a solid fist. People question why I would cut off my hand. It's because I know stuff like this will one day be available and I can have 2 functional hands instead of just 1.
Tomara que esse tipo de tecnologia evolua cada vez mais para quem precisa ...
Truly amazing.
Being in the profession I’m in this is fantastic to see, not just for people with traumatic amputations (ie blown of by a bomb) but for anyone else who has had to suffer an amputation for any reason!!
I love all the attachments...I would love a leaf blower and garden tiller attachment as well as a nice fishing pole.
There’s a dildo attachment you would like
I love that arm IT DETECTS ITEMS WOW
It looks like a mind control but it's what they call Proportional Myoelectric Control, there are sensors connected to your body nerves and muscles, they receive what they call myoelectric signals and there's a program to translate them in the movement it thinks you're trying to do. Their accuracy depends on their ability to translate those signals into the movement you're thinking to do, so it looks like you got a full mind control over them :) The next step in these applications is gonna be to get through that and to look for a nervous system connection from the brain more than the body muscles
Its actually very nice contribution for humans who are specially abled... At least this will help them in their life.... God bless those people who invented this.....
This is too cool. I hope the technology gets more accessible and afforable quickly. The dexterity is amazing and such a far departure from the weird flesh toned arms that didnt help their wearers actually function better
Your dude needs it. I pray for his restoration and granting his wish. He did not believe enough and accepted that fact and look here's hope! ❤❤❤❤
Its amazing how far technology for prosthetics is evolving.
One day we will have prosthetics that are seamless and without flaws. I see so many benefits to a limb that can withstand the elements and essentially negate any dangers from hazards. It would be like a super power!
Winter soldier?
@@yamete_kudasai6969ikr
@@yamete_kudasai6969 i was thinking the same lmao
this is awesome, can't understate the feat that this is. the next step I hope will be to incorporate flexion, extension, left/right deviation, supination and pronation into the wrists. those movements of the wrist and forearm place an incredible amount of mobility in what our hands and fingers are actually capable of. a part of me believes a simple clamp mechanism for the hand combined with full wrist and forearm mobility would be a more useful prosthetic if the choice had to be made between that or full finger function. I'm sure in time we will begin to see this become the norm, as alot of the movements of the ankles have been incorporated in robotic lower leg prosthetics and it's a very similar anatomical mechanism. exciting stuff! can't wait for the next step in this! I'm sure the hardest aspect is linking it with the mind, incredible feat in technology!
Edit: I see now that the wrist does rotate, accomplishing the equavalent of wrist supination and pronation, still would like to see more of the movements that come from the wrist itself.
Breathtaking.
I had been watching the evolution of this technology at least for the last three decades, the improvment is impressive, geneous mind spending hours of works in laboratories and work spaces to devolop this technology to help these people in disprate need must be given a price, their work is priceless big up and power to them
Love this machine❤ I hope this tech gets more developed so that every ppl could use it daily. My father lost both of his hand few years ago so I was dreaming to have this kind of arms which it looks brilliant 🎉
The cybernetics that are coming about are amazing.
Amazing movement better response they are getting so close to natural mobility is 🤯
This is beautiful to watch ❤️❤️❤️ I'm literally speechless
Amazing. I’ve always saw myself creating artist concepts for replacement limbs when the tech became available. It’s happening sooner than I thought.
I'm a barber and my boss only has one arm below the elbow. He's really good with one arm I can only imagine if he had this
He can get the scissor attachment and go full Edward Scissorhands! ✂️😁👍
Can't wait to see the improvements after 10 years
This is fantastic
I don’t know how prosthetics works, but this is insane and amazing
It's magic probably
It's about damn time we get highly accurate movements in prosthetics, we are too advanced to not have a solution for those who are born without limbs or lose them afterwards. It seems like such a medical priority, getting in an accident and losing a limb shouldn't be something so life changing anymore
Functional and getting nearer to life like, well done ♥️🇬🇧
That's amazing
I'm just thinking about how outrageously expensive that'll be😭
You gotta have to trade another body part to put this bad boy on
SHE CAN EXERCISE WITH THE ARM! YEEEEEEEAH
The more i see these videos... The more I'm grateful to the natural, fully functional organs I'm born with. Thanking god. And i hope one day we could master to make one near to those.
Thats just beautiful 💙
I've always been so inspired by the amputees I've known in my life and how resilient they chose to become. They truly deserve something like this.
They didn't choose to be resilient lmao. They had to be. Because what's the alternative? Give up? Continuing to find ways to survive isn't inspiring, it's life.
I’m not a amputee and I’m thankful for that however I am intrigued by the innovation of prosthetic technology. I for one am glad to see that a lot of these companies are focusing on usability and not putting much thought into trying to make them look real or lifelike, I think society wise we’ve gotten away from trying to hide disfigurement and that’s helped to further not only normalizing people who suffer from these injuries or who’ve been born with such defects but also made the technology progress away from the “pirate hooks” and silicone rubber “dummy hands”. Also can’t get over how cool these artificial limbs look even if that’s not the intention, if I was in an accident which I hope to not be but that’s why it’s called an “accident” I’d want to have something that looks like this to show off, not something to be self conscious about, we really are progressing into cyborg technology I’d bet in 30-40 years from now we’ll see artificial limbs with nerve receptors that can sense pain and be totally lifelike with skin tissue, something that was fantasy 50 years ago and shown in films like Star Wars.
The human hand is really a miracle creation. It can do so many things. We take them for granted every day.
Fico realmente orgulhosa de ver tecnologia para evolução humana.
What do you mean by "controlled by the mind" ? How exactly does the device obtain control signals ?
From shooting ultrasounds into remaning muscle ends it can detect nerv signals inside from the reflected sounds. Like muscle echolocation
It's not anime level, but it's still amazing
You watched Edgerunners didn’t you😂
I used to see robotic arms as badass because of shows and some animes now I just see there really are a disadvantage
@@Admiral- theyre a disadvantage for now, within a couple decades the technology will probably be seemless
we need so much more than this .... :////
Arguably the most impressive technological achievement for humankind in the last 100 years that isn't medicine related. Absolutely mind bending.
Very cool! Looks so interesting! Is it expensive? How strong is it?
It is probably more expensive then your rent for a month. And the strength is about 8 pounds. Anything higher then that and it will break. Nothing special about that. And that is not including the fact that above 8 pounds the chances of that thing popping off are becoming pretty huge too. This is amazing! But we still have a long way too go
"Is it expensive"???
definitely expensive without insurance

Correction: available to those who can afford it
How amazing it is when you remind that something as simple as using your phone with one hand while grabbong a bunch of chips with the other is really comple behind.
Incredible looking product, gorgeous even. Where can I buy one? The arm is cool too.
Tetsuo shima would be proud.
Indeed.
The fact that things like these actually exist blows my mind...
Of course there is no limit to what man can create but this blows my mind...
That reminds me of something that I saw a few months ago here in South Beach :
I was out running errands early in the morning and all of a sudden I saw a guy running on the sidewalk with VERY THIN prostheses which I suppose were carbon fiber...
The man had nothing below both knees other than those artificial parts but he was running SO FAST...Much faster than I could ever run with my legs...And I really am athletic...
That's amazing!! I had a stroke when I was 8, and honestly, this prosthetic is about as functional as my left hand. Maybe more... I don't think I would ever trust my left hand with a knife hahah. Having a "helper" hand that can do a lot of basic things makes life much better.
Just remember to not make these arms too good, or else people will start wanting to replace their organic ones and it will increase the price for people that actually need it
If someone wants to voluntarily amputate themselves to get a prosthetic, they need to get their brain check instead not their limbs

That is some amazing engineering, personally though I would prefer a more cybernetic T800 style appearance.
it's amasing how far we have come with prostetics we still have a long way to go though there are still things this arm can't do a real one can.
She is Gorgeous like omg beautiful i wish i could hold her on a beach walk! so what was the video about tho?
This guy made his own mechanical hand... But he only lost fingers. Maybe if they could make them more mechanical like his
One of the amazing invention.
Absolutely mind blowing
Holy shit. Those arms could be better than Human Arms in 20 or 30 years
HIGH TIME I CHROMED THE FUCK UP
No it never could

I mean it’s good relative to prosthetics but it would be hell to live life with these
Appreciate your arms more buddy:>
I know it looks amazing and it's incredible helpful for today's generation but having your real arms is something to be grateful for and for people who don't have arms you guys should be more grateful for fake arms that exist so you can at least do things again by your own little fellas
