Muscles and machines – Connor Glass on new approaches to prosthesis control

What happens when the boundary between humans and machines starts
to dissolve? Dr. Connor Glass is the Founder and CEO of Phantom
Neuro, a neurotechnology company building the next generation of
human–machine interfaces. With a background in medicine and
research at Johns Hopkins, Connor left clinical practice to tackle
a deeper challenge: how humans can intuitively and seamlessly
control the machines that extend their capabilities. In this
episode of Taste of Bionics, Connor talks to Ranga about developing
Phantom X, a minimally invasive muscle-machine interface that
enables intuitive control of prosthetic limbs and robotic devices,
and how to make high-performance neural control accessible and
scalable – not only for amputees, but also for broader applications
in robotics and human augmentation.
