MindControlled Limbs and HomeMade Skin

The video discusses rapid advancements in medical prosthetics, focusing on the Modular Prosthetic Limb (MPL) developed by Johns Hopkins. This robotic arm can be controlled by the mind through neural implants or targeted muscle reinnervation. Recent studies have enabled control of individual robotic fingers, enhancing functionality. Additionally, the development of synthetic skin using common materials like aluminum foil and sponges offers a cost-effective solution for tactile feedback in prosthetics.

What advancements have been made in controlling prosthetic limbs with the mind?

Describe the procedure of targeted muscle reinnervation and its purpose.

How did researchers teach the Modular Prosthetic Limb to recognize mental signals?

What materials were used to create the functional synthetic skin mentioned in the text?

Explain how the synthetic skin can detect temperature, humidity, and pressure.
