Terrorism Victim Gets Cybernetic Arm

[O maestre]

as well as avoiding the infection and pressure sores that have occurred with previous attempts to fuse metal and bone.

Fantastic. That -- as far as I see it -- was the biggest obstacle that needed to be overcome.

agreed, im stuck wondering how... i mean the very thought of fusing it to the bone would cause all kinds of internal complications alone. must have been a delicate process indeed

I've seen Appleseed Ex Machina [Appleseed Ex:Machina], and ignoring the inherent issues dealt with in the course of the plot, I saw nothing wrong with the society created - only the issues produced by a lack of caution in their implementation, and allowing singular individuals to control or manipulate such technology. The danger is also the same issue we have now in the internet with spambot-viruses running amok; the internet was (and the devices that connect to it were) never designed with safeguards against such things.

Also, that movie uses just about every cyberpunk, postcyberpunk, and general trope [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Appleseed?from=Main.AppleseedExMachina] it can get its cybernetic hands on. It's a jenga-block tower of cliches that comes together perfectly.

Hooray for Cybernetic limbs!

I know they already made a cybernetic eye that attaches to the retina and has a camera where the lens used to be, which I might add can see in infared (super sweet). Now they are working the kinks out of fusing metal to bone without complications.

It can't be long until someone figures out how to attach to the nerves and give direct brain control.

That is super sweet.

One step closer to create a guy named Gray Fox.

And thus it begins. May the developments only accelerate from here; my sympathy for the woman who lost her arm, and my gratitude for her accepting this next technological step forward for the whole of humanity.

My thoughts exactly.

Alright, it's official. Science is awesome.

My other thoughts exactly.

There's my hourly brain report for you.

Soon, Skynet will rise. We can only hope Arnie has being practising after the poor showing in T3.


Although seriously, great news for the whole field of replacement limbs.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I can't make quasi-orgasmic noises enough!

Congratulations for Ms Mason. It's great to know that she's got a new arm, and that technology marches onwards. Anyone up for a round of Deus Ex?

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Now she can give Al Quaeda the finger with both hands again! Yay science!

Getting closer to ghost in the shell... I can feel it, now we just need brain-computer interfaces to go mainstream and less creepy and bingo!

oh, I sure want a cyber brain and the camouflage system that comes bundled with it. =D

Hell Yeah! I wish I lived in that universe. So awesome.

Haven't you guys seen Ghost in the Shell 2 / The second season of GITS Standalone Complex, where some of the characters had some kind of "Insta Hack Guns"?

Someone could creep up on you, shove some device in your Dataport Thingie and upload some badly written C++ Program into you to get you stuck in some kind of infinite loop crash paralysis.

Not exactly something i'm dreaming of...

 

[Samurai Goomba]

Maybe I can look forward into being Batou once I hit forty. I'd go for that.

 

[Copter400]

Hopefully it isn't as painful as automail.

 

[WaffleGod]

That's amazing!

Well done science geeks!

 

[Galletea]

Sweet! Huzzah for science!

You seem to be confusing cybernetics with robotics - this cybernetic arm would be controlled by neural pathways, a domain where C++ holds no power whatsoever.

Just been referring to what the posters above said.

But i also have Horror Scenarios for Robotic Arms, even if the Movies i got them from are pretty bad (does anyone know Anatomy 2?)
