Les Baugh picked up a cup and put it on a shelf. It was a land mark achievement for Les as well as a leap forward in science. Les is a double arm amputee.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics lab fit him with cutting edge prosthetics that he was able to control just by thinking about them.
According to researchers, “What really was amazing, and was another major milestone with MPL control, was his ability to control a combination of motions across both arms at the same time. This was a first for simultaneous bimanual control.”
Oh by the way, did we mention, DARPA was involved? Nothing interesting going on there right? (redact, redact, redact!)
It's so amazing, we added the video below. Watch, be amazed, and maybe even a little bit scared.
