"The Bionic Man"
Prof. Dario Farina gave a talk during 2017 Imperial Festival programme showcasing the latest bionic limbs, and discussing the obstacles to further progress. He presented the robotic technology that can already reproduce missing human limbs for near complete dexterity and proposed that in the not too distant future even surpass our own biological potential; while adding the need for probing deeper into our own nervous system, along with advances in robotics, in order to create a human-machine interface that truly creates a sense of natural control of movement. In addition to imagining a future of not just amazing bionic limb performance, he also posed ethical questions and asking what happens when people start demanding robotic arms over their own healthy ones. The recording of the talk can be found here.
