Playtime Comments : [Veritasium] An Affordable 3D-Printed Arm

1S**************:

5:45 "We don't feel like people should profit from a child without an arm"
That hit me right in the feels :3

Do**********:

4:25 "I'm really excited right now about doing somersaults....and hugging with two hands"
Gah, I just broke

Jo***********:

7:07 what an amazing young gentleman.

Ad*********:

4:28 I want to hug with two hands
Me: me too,kid.

Ma********:

0:15 I want one of those!

Ab******:

5:45 “... We don’t feel like people should profit from a child without an arm!”
Respect

De************:

Damn...it really chokes me up when I hear the kid at 4:23. To think hugging with two hands is that important to him it really does mean a lot. I feel for that kid and hope he gets to achieve all that he rightfully desires.

Jo*********:

4:21 Wyatt says he would be able to hug with two hands. I could cry.

My******:

7:10 - when that boy says thank you and reaches across to hug; that was tear-inducing.

Da********:

That chair at 0:18 is something I desperately need

Fe*****:

flashlight on those arms?

Ro***********:

Beginning of advanced warfare

Ba**:

These guys are Real Heroes.... Just Unbelievable And Amazing!

Em*******:

Yeah... Nice Microsoft Productplacement...
 Good cause though.

Th*************:

Awesome!

le***:

Totally should've asked a the end of the video, "What do you have to say to the people that think you're limited because of the way you were born?" and then one of the kids should've flipped off the camera with his prosthesis. The ideas you get at midnight man, I should really be sleeping right now.

an********:

I'm hoping I can help as many people as they do when I graduate high school. It's a great feeling to see the smiles on these kids faces

Se***************:

"Help with deisgn, join in..." - "But you need Windows on your PC" - "OK, I'll pass"... let's design free and open technologies instead!

Ol*************:

First time I've heard someone say that 3D printing is cheap

So*******************:

I almost wanna cut my arm off. (Not really.) but still awesome though.

On******************:

I really want one of these

Ce*********:

he won't be able to play videos games :(

Se**:

Gotta be honest, I don't think they've solved a problem that others couldn't, I think they've just made a cheapo version of the real thing, and it's not even an advancement in anything, big deal, they are getting on the 3D printing hype train 5 years late. Like, it's fine for giving kids confidence and it's clearly a good thing as it makes them happy, but it looks like you could fall and all of the fingers would just break into pieces, and the demo of it gripping was on an empty water bottle? Is that all it can grasp and lift? Or was that just all they had at the time to demo it to the millions that could see this video?

The real problem is the robotic arms that cost 50 grand only cost so much because of the research and development that goes in to them, and there is no infrastructure in place to manufacture them on a large scale. And the companies that are making these arms aren't looking to sell them on a large scale, instead they are just constantly making new versions and improving, and there is nothing special about them mechanically, the physical materials and technology are going to be pretty cheap. So if we want people to have well built functioning arms then somebody needs to push the development of bionic arms and get them down to a reasonable price, and while it's great for these kids, in the big picture making a barely functional cheapo version out of plastic is like putting a plaster on a knife wound.

50****:

who the freak thumbs down a project like this??

ga**:

605 pirates disliked this video

Su*******:

Could the bionic arm be adapted to understand different signals? Like the signal from one muscle to open it and another to close it? That could help make it easier to use and a lot closer to a real arm :)

Ma****:

01:07 WHAT ARE TOESSS!!!!!

Me***********:

If a 20 second ad at the end of a video about a breakthrough in prosthetic arms bothers you, you need to set your priorities straight.

Ma**************:

Why is this not on the main-stream news media ?
Because no one is profiteering from it.
These guys rock

Sh***************:

My heart melted when the little boy said " …and hug with two hands" oh my goodness the feels

Mi******:

I think this is fantastic, the Microsoft ad is appropriately placed they helped make this content available for us. Keep up the work great cause. Seeing the kids brightened up my day.

Bl***:

how everyone just hates about the microsoft product placements i mean this helps in the life of childs 

ve******:

"we don't feel like people should profit from children without an arm" - wonderful, however, the profit motive of gaining & maintaining a differential advantage others needs to be retired, it is an inefficient way to distribute resources, erodes collaborative efficiency & produces excessive concentrations of wealth.

We are faced with what to replace capitalism with in the context of a technological post scarcity society. The best proposed socioeconomic system I'm aware of today is a "Resource Based Economy"

Ot***********:

with these upgrades, you never stood a chance.

Ye***:

Producing something like that for 300 dollars.

Holy lord almighty, science is awesome.

Aw***********:

Faith in humanity restored :D

Ch***************:

What kind of sick broken people thumbs downed this?!?! For shame...

lu***********:

the trouble with prosthetics that some people dont realize is that EVERY, SINGLE, ONE, of them has to be custom designed to fit the recipient. its not like clothes where it just has to kind of fit. not everyone has the same body size or the same amount of missing limb. the ability to quickly make custom designs with 3d printers is surely what will solve this problem. in a few decades all you will hav to do is get your nerves mapped out and body measured then in 6-8 business weeks youll hav a limb. 

Bo*******:

It's sort of interesting how he keeps touching his stump (is stump the correct term these days? Probably not, huh?).

I don't know why I find it interesting, but, well, there it is.


On another note, I remember seeing some sort of video about bebionic prosthetic limbs, which use a similar method to control the hand (muscles on upper arm to open and close hand) and at the time I wondered why nobody had done it before or done it cheaper. I'm assuming the answer to the latter has something to do with patents.
