CLEAN: New limbs that can do almost anything

The video discusses the current state and future of prosthetic hand technology. It highlights the challenges in controlling individual finger movements and the need for more control inputs. The speaker envisions a future where prosthetics respond to thought processes, allowing for more natural movements. The video also covers the mechanics of prosthetics, including electrode marks and motor functions, which mimic human tendons.

What is one of the main challenges currently faced in the development of prosthetic hands?

• Reducing the weight of the prosthetic

• Increasing battery life

• Controlling fingers individually

• Creating a realistic skin texture

In the future, how will patients control their prosthetic hands?

• Using a remote control

• Through voice commands

• With their thoughts

• By manual adjustments

What advancement is expected beyond individual finger control in prosthetics?

• Automatic color change

• Self-repairing materials

• Hand rotation and object interaction without looking

• Wireless charging

What role do electrodes play in prosthetic hands?

• They detect muscle signals for movement

• They provide power to the hand

• They are used for aesthetic purposes

• They help in temperature regulation

How is finger movement achieved in prosthetic hands?

• Using a belt similar to a human tendon

• Through hydraulic systems

• With pneumatic pressure

• By magnetic fields
