The bionic arm: what does it do?<\/p>\n
When people lose body parts, it\u2019s quite normal to see a prosthetic limb being fitted and used.<\/p>\n
However, in recent years, as AI has advanced,<\/a> the use of bionic limbs has increased.<\/p>\n A bionic limb, specifically a bionic arm, is able to recognise signals from the user\u2019s muscles.<\/a><\/p>\n The bionic arm then responds <\/a>using myolectric sensors and motors<\/a>, which, in turn, help movements to feel more human-like.<\/p>\n They are becoming more and more common, but this woman\u2019s experience with her bionic arm might just leave you speechless. <\/p>\n Click the star icon next to supercarblondie.com in Google Search<\/a> to stay ahead of the curve on the latest and greatest supercars, hypercars, and ground-breaking technology<\/p>\n This mind-reading bionic arm is seriously impressive<\/p>\n Meet Sarah De Lagarde<\/a>, who calls herself 80 percent human and 20 percent bionic<\/a> thanks to her mind-reading limb. <\/p>\n Sarah was hit by two trains in 2022, leaving her without her right arm and leg. <\/p>\n It was after this life-changing accident that she was given her bionic arm. <\/p>\n From hugging her children to climbing mountains, her bionic arm has given her a whole new lease on life. <\/p>\n Speaking to Good Morning Britain<\/a>, Sarah explained that the bionic arm used artificial intelligence, with software that was able to learn and recognise the movements she makes most and streamline them for future use.<\/p>\n Her children are impressed with the bionic arm, too.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the part that they enjoyed the most is the realization that I can take it off at night and plug it in to charge, just like an iPhone; they find that very funny,\u201d said Sarah.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve seen AI used in a variety of different industries, but perhaps the most impressive use is in the medical sector, allowing users to do things they never thought possible. <\/p>\n Timeline of key AI breakthrough moments<\/p>\n 1950: British mathematician Alan Turing devises the \u2018Imitation Game\u2019, now known as the Turing Test, designed to test a machine\u2019s ability to replicate human intelligence and behavior<\/p>\n 1956: The term \u2018Artificial Intelligence\u2019 is officially coined during a research project at Dartmouth College in the UK<\/p>\n 1966: MIT professor Joseph Weizenbaum creates \u2018ELIZA\u2019, a rudimentary AI-powered chatbot that mimics human behavior<\/p>\n 1997: IBM supercomputer Deep Blue defeats world chess champion Garry Kasparov<\/p>\n 2011: Apple introduces Siri, the first AI-powered assistant integrated directly into a smartphone<\/p>\n 2016: An AI bot writes an entire movie (Sunspring) from scratch, including the film\u2019s soundtrack and screenplay<\/p>\n 2022: OpenAI launches ChatGPT<\/a>, the world\u2019s first widely available AI-powered chatbot<\/p>\n![\"British](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/bionic-arm.webp.webp\")
