Lending a helping hand to a real man Bionic
In 1974, there was a futuristic TV show called Six Million Dollar Man. The popular show lasted four years and featured the adventures of astronaut Steve Austin (Lee Majors). The show started with the astronaut by death but with science-fiction and creative thinking Hollywood ready to provide an interesting story line.
The trailer Promotional Six Million Dollar Man would be the basis for the show. Followers of the television series will certainly remember the words: "Gentlemen, we can rebuild, we have the technology. We have the ability to make the first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better. Stronger. Faster. "
Of course, bionic limbs were only a distant dream in 1974. However, ten years before the first the bionic man on U.S. television, the first work for a bionic hand had already begun to Edinburgh's Princess Margaret Rose Hospital to help children affected by thalidomide.
Several decades of research later, a bionic hand has become recently published in the words of Touch Bionics CEO Stuart Mead, "one of the most compelling devices in the world prostheses on the market." synthetic Touch Bionics Members is called i-LIMB Hand and he has been winning awards all over the world throughout 2008.
Consider that the i-LIMB Hand has won The Royal Academy of Engineering MacRobert Award while Time Magazine recently recognized the device as one of the best inventions of fifty in 2008. Time evaluated the invention fourteen of the fifty chosen for its recognition.
The artificial hand of five fingers working separately, each powered by its own engine. This makes it more versatile than the previous hands, which often looked like hooks, limited to opening and closing simple. The bionic hand is made of high strength plastic, and fingers can easily be unscrewed from the hand, which makes it easy to maintain. Therefore, this device has a much wider range of capabilities and use.
The i-LIMB Hand has a handle to take hold of close objects, and to organize the control of larger objects like cups. In addition, it has a precision made, in which the thumb and forefinger meet to make things smaller and keep them in the tasks of finer control. A handful in which the thumb and fingers nearby, but the index still extended it is very easy to dial a phone.
However, this award-winning bionic hand might soon be obsolete. Consider that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) continues to make progress on its proposed 55 million dollars to create a thought-controlled bionic arm that duplicates the functions of a natural member.
Last summer, the team DARPA has reached a milestone when it finished Proto 2, a thought controlled mechanical arm with hand and articulated fingers that can make 25 proposals joint resolution. This dexterity approaches that of a biological arm can make 30 proposals. The device can bend the elbow, rotate its wrist and shoulder and open and close the fingers. A person wearing a Proto 2 could even play the piano.
Next year, DARPA plans to petition before the Food and Drug Administration to put his bionic arm by thought controlled clinical trials. This research is important to hundreds of veterans disabilities returning from Iraq who have lost an arm or a hand in the fight against as well as thousands of others in need of a bionic limbs in worldwide.
However, these members have not yet advanced bionic approach the ability to see in this issue Television 1970s. But modern science is very close to hand functional and weapons to a real bionic man. Accordingly, these repeats Six Million Dollar unionized Man science fiction will never be the same. Television Fantasy met reality, because progress in achieving prostheses is international fame.
