This man felt Obama's fist-bump with his mind-controlled robotic hand
This is pretty sick.
While in Pittsburgh on Thursday to attend the White House Frontiers Conference, President Barack Obama fist-bumped Nathan Copeland, the first man to have his sense of touch restored via a mind-controlled robotic hand.
A decade ago when Copeland, now 28, was a teenager, he lost all sensation from the chest downwards in a car accident. In another time, he would likely have never been able to feel again.
Now he can, thanks to the help of a sensory-enhanced robotic hand which he can control with his mind.
