Think2021: Session #2316 The bionic future

As the co-director of the MIT Center for Extreme Bionics, Hugh Herr is creating bionic limbs that emulate the function of natural limbs. A double amputee himself, he is responsible for breakthrough advances in bionic limbs that provide new hope to those with physical disabilities. Herr details how "NeuroEmbodied Design” creates cyborg function that enables the human body to blur the line between the natural and synthetic worlds, showing us a future that is redefining human potential.
