Hold, Pick, Feel: How AI Changes Lives of Amputees

Melissa Loomis from Ohio, US lost an arm in a terrible accident and her normal life went upside down. But, she had never imagined that one day, with the help of AI, she would be able to get an arm as good as a real one. In 2016, Loomis became the first amputee in the world to feel a sense of touch through a mind-controlled bionic arm. This is often considered one of the biggest events in the history of prosthesis. The history of prostheses dates back to the Egyptian era when the first functional prosthesis limb was used between 950 and 710 BC.
