A new prosthetic hand that could be a game changer for amputees...but also for the future of robotics (IMHO).

BrainRobotics is trying out its prosthetics as it awaits FDA approval Engineers at BrainRobotics have created a next-generation prosthetic that’s meant to be more mobile and affordable than other robotic limbs used today. It’s a hand powered by artificial intelligence that gives amputees precise control over each finger, enabling them to perform numerous gestures and grips.

The hand is undergoing FDA testing, and this month the company is testing the technology with the people it is intended to help.

...The BrainRobotics device seeks to be the answer to that, with prices expected to start 30 percent lower than what’s on the market right now.
 
If we could drive our cars like rockets, straight up, travelling around 95kph, we would reach space in about an hour.
 

for any still following the iceberg saga: The giant iceberg A68 drifted threateningly close to the island for the wildlife of South Georgia. By the end of 2020, it seemed that the iceberg would be unstoppable. Fears arose that the ice mass could cause serious problems for life on South Georgia. Now the latest satellite images show that the giant has broken up into unproblematic fragments and is floating past south of the island.

Wait. What??? You mean the world is not ending?! Seriously, this idea that nature cannot or will not survive us is laughable on it's face.

Should we do a better job? Of course. Is everything in the world that is changing our fault? Hardly. The world and environment has been changing. Always has. Always will. With us. Or without us. The idea that we like things the way they are and should try to force the climate into a steady state is laughable. :rolleyes:
