I've actually usually been wary of taking on science fiction as an actor because it's really tough to do. It's really difficult to execute. There's often lots of prosthetics, green screen and special effects, and it can get very technical.

The idea of prosthetics is a tool. Most people's cell phones are prosthetics. If you leave your cell phone at home, you feel impacted by not having it. It's an important part of your daily function and what you can do in a day.

American Athlete

Mike Schultz

Building prosthetics that allow people to get back to the fun activities in life is as rewarding a job as I can imagine. It's just as fulfilling for me as winning at the racetrack.

Billy Monger

I'm happiest when I'm in the car. I don't have to worry about my A-Levels or my prosthetics or anything. I can just go out there and be me, doing what I've always wanted to do.

British Driver

Alan Oliveira

The prostheses do not run the race on their own: there is an athlete who does the work, and the prosthetics do not make a significant difference to the time.

Brazilian Athlete

Amy Purdy

Of course, there are benefits to having prosthetics. I can make myself as tall as I want. I can wear flip-flops in the snow if I wanted to. There's benefits.

American Actress

Jessica Long

I always loved the water. It's a place I can just take off these heavy prosthetics and just jump in the water and feel no different.

Michael Sheen

I would never use prosthetics. I don't like sticking things on. I don't really like wearing wigs, either.

Welsh Actor

Jeff Bauman

Sometimes walking to the end of the street with my prosthetics feels like running a mile.

American Author

Zoe Bell

I have done a lot of prosthetics throughout my career so I am used to it.

Prosthetics can be made from plastic, metal, or advanced composites, affecting their appearance and functionality.

Variety of Materials

Each prosthetic is custom-made for the individual, based on their unique needs and body measurements.

Not Interchangeable

Prosthetics can be used to refer to both permanent fixtures and temporary solutions for missing body parts.

Usage Context

Prosthetics as a field of study encompasses design, manufacture, and fitting of artificial limbs.

Broad Field

Prosthetics professionals work closely with doctors and therapists for holistic patient care.

Medical Collaboration

Continuous research in prosthetics leads to innovations that improve comfort and function for users.

 progressive prosthetics that these kids are going to need and then you turn around see moments like this you know one of the workers with one of the children that had had survived and I find that incredibly touching you know when you you just see so much hardship in the world and yet when it's brought together in humanity like that and then

 So it's different from the motor prosthetics where you're communicating from the brain to a device. Here we have to communicate from the outside world into the brain and be understood, and be understood by the brain. And then the last thing I wanted to say, really, is to emphasize

 After meeting her and driving home in my car, I thought, I'm an MIT professor. I have resources. Let's build her a bionic limb, to enable her to go back to her life of dance. I brought in MIT scientists with expertise in prosthetics, robotics, machine learning and biomechanics,

 many patients report pain primarily when they remove their prosthetics at night. And phantom limbs may in turn help patients conceptualize prosthetics as extensions of their bodies and manipulate them intuitively. There are still many questions about phantom limbs.

 It's an observation with obvious medical applications in humans as well, but it's also relevant in a broad sense, I think, to the design of prosthetics, soft robots, basically anything where changes of shape and stiffness are important. So to sum Twenty years ago,

 At the time, the legs I presented were groundbreaking in prosthetics. I had woven carbon fiber sprinting legs modeled after the hind leg of a cheetah, which you may have seen on stage yesterday. And also these very life-like, intrinsically painted silicone legs.

 I am most excited about the practical applications of HASEL artificial muscles. They'll enable soft robotic devices that can improve the quality of life. Soft robotics will enable a new generation of more lifelike prosthetics

 is he's been thinking about how to connect the brain using light or other mechanisms directly to things like these prosthetics. And if you can do that, then you can begin changing fundamental aspects of humanity.

 such as neural prosthetics and wearable robots that could become extended parts of our bodies. Or the slightly more radical idea of mind uploading, which dangles the possibility of immortal life without a body
