July 7 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am EST
Overview:
- Dial in to learn about the Universal Neural Interface that allows advanced and sensorized prosthesis, like the state-of-the-art bionic LUKE Arm, to move and feel like a biological arm. The LUKE Arm, developed under the U.S. Department of Defense for injured soldiers, is the Life Under Kinetic Evolution that is a nod to Luke Skywalker who was equipped with such an arm in “Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back.”
- This AI powered technology is for limb restoration that gives the unprecedented finger precision of picking up grapes one by one as well as the sensation as if it is one’s own arm, plus it enables exoskeletons to function much faster and more effectively, enabling Warfighters to respond as fast as natural human movement.
- Learn about the technology and what is possible with public-private collaboration from the lens of a clinician, researcher, business commercialization and most of all, a patient.
