- www.ted.com Inventor Dean Kamen previews the prosthetic arm hes developing at the request of the US Department of Defense. His quiet commitment to using technology to solve problems -- while honoring the human spirit -- has never been more clear.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers are invited to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes -- including speakers such as Jill Bolte Taylor, Sir Ken Robinson, Hans Rosling, Al Gore and Arthur Benjamin. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, politics and the arts. Watch the Top 10 TEDTalks on TED.com, at

DK's the man. i wish i could work for him.
absolutely wonderful, Now would it be available to all the soldiers that lost limbs for no cost out of pocket?
that's awesome, it really is the best thing out there so far..but what's really cool is that advances in this technology will be even better in the near future!
there are many different ways....it goes case-by-case. It is very flexible and can be outfitted per individual
it would be great if they would share the technology
he should have been using one when he gave the speech. that would have been cool.
That was 5 years ago. Where is it? Did the guy using it have both arms?
check out "the singularity" its kinda states that robots could get so smart they would be able to imrove themselves in such a way that isnt possible.
This guy is so humble it's moving
id say $10.000 is what one researcher involved in the developement of this machine earns in a week.
what a product costs is not only determined by the value of its parts and the assembling but also by how much it costed to develope it.
and that's why i think that one arm will probably cost $10.000.000.
I too, have a brachial plexus injury, but it's from birth. I have approximately 20% usage of my arm; is this something may be considered for people with shoulder dystocia, or would some sort of cellular regeneration technology be more likely in the future?
how was that being controlled?
irl david sarif?
Hey, that sure looked like James Randi (and Jeff Wagg) in the front row at the end of the clip. I can't wait until TED uploads his talk!
what feild of study is this biomedical engineering?
a very rare video...this is spectacular, dean.
What's so bad about a guy wanting to do something b/c his heart pulls him to a direction where he hopes to make a difference in the lives of amputees? I don't think it's a question about war. It's a question about helping people...and so what if the carnage of war is what compelled Dean Kamen to make this..you have to remember it's Dean Kamen, he's an individual and has his own reasons and motivations..one can't be at fault w/ that.
That guy sounded like he was so tired. But great stuff, amazing achievement!
LOL .. the fact he has two good arms would make that difficult. But I understand what you're saying.
Great video and an amazing arm.
He went to some polytechnic/engineering college but dropped out. Most say he's a self taught physicist.
What's sad is there is technology that is based on an anime that works better than this in real life but is really painful but works fast
how does it work?
I'm still waiting for stapleable water.
thank you dean kamen. We love you!
Does anyone know what Dean Kamen's educational background is?
Physics
Better living through science.
These arms will be at least $100k. The robotic knees are $22k and only control one joint.
Hmmm that is very true, but it seems like an improbable thing to dream about. I would dream more about achieving his success or the like, because he's such an inspirational guy. But to each his own... LOL.
I realise that the first thing amputees would want is to have their arm back the way it was. However, - speaking from my fortunate fully-limbed perspective - if I were to have a robotic arm, I would want it to look robotic.
I guess nobody got the joke about the veteran with no legs and didn't lose his good arm.
@Boleskine33 I used to work for Dean and I have to tell you, that I agree. I love that all of his inventions have been geared around solving real problems. He's a brilliant man.
2021 and we have the same thing or even worse
Wow, that is going to cost a whole lot of money. Dean is brilliant, but everything he makes seems to require so much tiny machinery that the cost is always way too high to be practical.
will you make a prosthetic leg too from below the knee?! Thats amazing work man.
how the...
@akaCharlieG Yea man people losing their limbs in war and becoming handicapped is so exciting!!!
"I don't have to dream about achieving his success. I have been there and done that."
Yeah sure your arts and crafts projects are really really important. keep up that finger painting, the louvre beckons.
one of the greatest minds of the 21st century
one arm costs 10 million $ probably.
My head tells me that to much families already paid their duty to the country...always the same kids killed....hope that history show them respect...
the worlds best FPS ever ^^
A great achievement, but hey! that prothetic are was way too noisey!...With Neodymium Magnet Linear Stepper-Motors, that arm could be completely silent. Effectivey electric muscles. Potentially as powerful as the real thing. NiMH rechargeable batteries, can deliver high currents, and have a current power density of 180 Watt-Hours per Kilo. That's enough for both legs, yet alone arms.
Anyone else coming here from reading the Third Door?
@wtu There'll never be any technology to prove that statement
I have yet to see that awesome filtration system in full use.. or at least with much coverage at all.
I am not in the slightest bit believing that DARPA has any inclination to give 1600 currently injured troops a million dollar arm. Even if they get the price down to 300k each, itll never happen. They aren't even managing PTSD in these troops. This is real cute, and great technology, but never going to see this. You will pay dearly for it though.
Thats pretty amazing but veterans will never get one. I am 30% disables, one leg is a useless painful piece of meat, and I get $350 a month and a caine.
Quick, someone dispose of the arm before they build skynet O:
Clarke's Three Laws:
1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Just 20 years after Terminator, when most of us started thinking seriously about the possibilities of creating a cyborg. Absolutely incredible
5&F
Link?
Are you addressing this to him? haha
It is a helluva lot better than the stupid segway scooter. In any case, its sad but true; war does spur innovation.
I hope it is also available to civilian amputees.
bionic beauty!
wow... i'm the first commentor! i love TED talks!
You wouldn't think so if you didn't have an arm.
Certainly it would be more practical not to start the war.
The more i view this the more i feel that we are going to be in a new age of computer and robitic technology that we just might be considered robotic ourselves.
Why doesn't anybody laugh at his jokes?.. "I still think you're nuts" lol
Pump out the tech! We need those cyborgs quickly!
You mean it would be more practical to let warlords overrun the world?
kids?...sent to war.
@blackdove123
you can start by getting a degree in mechanical engineering
and by then it will be better :) ........... maybe u fire lasers out of it and shit.
lol THREE ARMED FREAK! :0
a soldier with a robotic arm is a very dangerous soldier! use this only for peace! (or against osama)
Deus Ex: The early years.
By the russians
all we need now is to make a robot leg, and torso. And we have a full cyborg. Doesn't matter about the AI. We can control it remotely by soldiers. Then send these mofo's by the millions into Iraq hehehe.
