When a limb is amputated, the connection between the nervous system and the muscle is broken. An artificial limb can’t send the same signals to the brain about where the prosthesis is in space, making the patient unable to feel the prosthetic joint without looking at it. Bionics designer Hugh Herr understands that feeling. He had both his legs amputated due to a mountain climbing accident in 1982. Now he works at MIT building a new class of biohybrid smart prostheses that allow people with amputation to walk as if their legs were biological. His team’s latest invention is the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI), which is a method to connect a person’s nerves to their bionic prosthesis. Hugh’s work proves that there is no limit to human potential (and also that we all might become cyborgs one day). “During the twilight years of this century, I believe humans will be unrecognizable in morphology and dynamics from what we are today," Hugh says. "Humanity will take flight and soar." To learn more about Hugh’s groundbreaking work, watch his latest #TEDTalk at go.ted.com/bionicbody
