6 Arms, 3 Thumbs: I Tested The Future of Robotic Limbs | Superhuman | WIRED

Описание: WIRED Editor Amit Katwala traveled far and wide for a hands-on look at the future of robotic artificial limbs. Watch as he puts a wearable set of arms inspired by traditional Japanese puppetry through the paces with Dr. Masahiko Inami University at the of Tokyo. Can Amit intuitively manipulate his newly added arms to pick up objects or write with a marker? Then, we visit with Dani Clode and Tamar Makin at the University of Cambridge to get a grip on the technology behind a 3D-printed sixth digit designed to give you two working thumbs one one hand. Will these robotic augmentations be the path to superhuman performance?
