Prof. Dario Farina gave a talk during 2017 911½ñÈÕºÚÁÏ Festival programme showcasing the latest bionic limbs, and discussing the obstacles to further progress. In addition to imagining a future of not just amazing bionic limb performance, he also posed ethical questions and asking what happens when people start demanding robotic arms over their own healthy ones.

In his inaugural lecture Professor Dario Farina presented the challenges, current solutions, and future directions in the development of bionic limbs. He discussed how these developments are paralleled by advances in our fundamental knowledge on how human movements are generated.
