Science uses insects to make cyber prostheses

During the study of the limbs of many insects, scientists found that they have the ability to move without contracting muscles.

Why is this discovery useful and important? At least in that it will help in many ways to improve cyber-prostheses for human legs and arms that are already on sale. They experimented on a large locust, removing all the muscles from its knee, but at the same time the limbs did not fail, despite the lack of muscle tissue. It is thanks to this that many bugs are able to jump very high. If you correctly understand and try to copy the structure of the joints and the limb itself, then as a result, the prostheses will be even more dexterous and faster than natural arms or legs.

Therefore, the near future may well please us with the fact that there will be no more disabled people, but there will be people who are even more capable and dexterous than before the loss of their natural limbs. These optimistic forecasts are not a fairy tale at all, because there is no need to reinvent the wheel. In nature, you can already find examples of how everything works, naturally and safely, the main thing is to notice in time and transfer this knowledge to the right area of ​​​​application.
