Unearth the #Cairo Toe! 🦶 Dating back to 950-710 BCE, this wooden prosthetic toe from ancient #Egypt, now in the British Museum, reflects remarkable innovation. More than art, it's functional, enhancing mobility. A testament to resilience through the ages.

I've been watching #Farscape and it reminds me of the clichéd, repetitive storylines of #StargateSG1.
white male "hero". All types of aliens, zero are Black(ish) or Asian(ish), or Aboriginal(ish), or anything other than caucasian(ish) (other than the #Muppets), even when completely covered in #makeup and #prosthetics.
And that intro is the worst of any #show I've ever watched, and I used to watch absolute garbage in the 60's and 70's.
It's supposed to get better in later seasons 🤞🏿

Researchers from our Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence
developed new skin-like #sensors, that can be used especially in #robotics and #prosthetics. 🤖 The universal sensing cells are produced automatically with #3Dprint: http://go.tum.de/621102

Its ubiquity, not to mention the terrible problems with pollution, has devalued how we see plastic. But it's a precious resource. And Precious Plastic are doing important work to help recycle plastic by type.

Luke Cox has designed a hand prosthetic for his final year project at Staffordshire University. The 3D printed hand cost just £19.97 to produce and, thanks to mouldable plastics and clever design, can be resized to accommodate a growing child.

A new study shows that people with amputated arms can feel warmth in their missing hands. The researchers used a device that stimulated the nerves in the stump with electrical pulses. The study could lead to more realistic and comfortable prosthetic limbs.

Bionic Finger ‘Sees’ Inside Objects by Poking Them
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bionic-finger-sees-inside-objects-by-poking-them/
“This bionic finger has exciting application prospects in material characterization and biomedical engineering,” says study co-author Zhiming Chen, an engineer at China's Wuyi University. “The technology could also be incorporated into robots and prosthetics, which is our next research topic.”

“Prosthetic arm technology is still so limited that I become more disabled when I wear one. There are very few, special tasks I can do better with it (case in point: using a potato ricer). But mostly what it does is helps me mimic two-handed people. I realized that my excitement about my new hand was mostly about being able to be something other than disabled — a cyborg.”
