Today, Scania paid attention to approx. 500 reteried co-workers who are members of Scania gold club by offering lunch and the opportunity to experience our exhibitions and vehicles here in the Marcus Wallenberg Hall. A much appreciated event! ✨ #Scania #MarcusWallenbergHall

Mind-controlled arm prostheses hold immense promise as a future technology that can greatly improve the lives of individuals with upper limb amputations or impairments. Fascinating? These prostheses aim to restore natural and intuitive control over prosthetic limbs by directly connecting them to the user's brain signals: Enhanced functionality: Mind-controlled prostheses have the potential to offer a higher degree of functionality and dexterity compared to traditional prosthetic limbs. By utilizing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), these prostheses can interpret the user's intentions and translate them into precise and natural movements. This allows users to perform a wider range of complex tasks, such as grasping objects with varying shapes and sizes or executing delicate movements. Improved user experience: Mind-controlled arm prostheses offer a more intuitive and seamless user experience. Instead of relying on manual controls or limited pre-programmed movements, users can control their prosthetic limbs simply by thinking about the desired actions. This reduces the cognitive load and effort required to operate the prosthesis, making it feel more like a natural extension of the body. Restored sensory feedback: In addition to motor control, advancements in mind-controlled prostheses are also exploring ways to provide sensory feedback to users. By integrating sensors and electrodes into the prosthesis and connecting them to the user's nerves or sensory pathways, it becomes possible to relay tactile sensations back to the user's brain. This can enable users to regain a sense of touch, temperature, and pressure, significantly enhancing their ability to interact with the world. Neural plasticity and adaptation: Mind-controlled arm prostheses have the potential to leverage the brain's remarkable ability to adapt and rewire itself. As users interact with their prosthetic limbs over time, their brain can learn to optimize the control signals, resulting in improved precision and efficiency of movements. This adaptive process can lead to a more natural and seamless integration of the prosthesis into the user's body schema. Research and technological advancements: Ongoing research and technological advancements in the field of mind-controlled prostheses are pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Scientists and engineers are constantly improving the accuracy, reliability, and ease of use of BCIs, as well as developing more sophisticated prosthetic designs. These advancements hold the potential to make mind-controlled arm prostheses increasingly accessible and practical for a wider range of users. While mind-controlled arm prostheses are still in the research and development stage, significant progress has been made, and they hold tremendous promise for the future.

Hatten av. Bra på riktigt. #riktigtbra Vad kan Sverige som samhälle lära sig av Scania? Väldigt mycket. Vi måste titta framåt och vara optimister; i.e. adaptera en ingenjörs inställning i att alla problem går att lösa (tills motsatsen är bevisad…) Det var tydligen rätt flummigt i svensk industri på 80-talet. Det styrdes då upp av kloka ingenjörer under 90-talet med inspiration från Toyota, en god portion sunt förnuft, ordning & reda samt tydligt ledarskap. Svensk industri står stark än idag och det är mycket tack vare ansvarstagande människor i just industrin och näringslivet för dryga 30 år sedan. Inte politiska beslut… Nu, idag, är det rätt flummigt i stora delar av samhället och i vår offentliga sektor. Det borde väl också gå att styra upp, lite på samma sätt som Leif Ostling et al gjorde med Scania? Kan varmt rekommendera den här intervjun, det är en väl investerad timma av ditt liv. I alla fall om du, liksom jag, är intresserad av samhällsfrågor, ledarskap och människor som vågar tala klarspråk. Jo, man kan välja att störa sig på eller fastna vid enskilda uttalanden eller ord. Eller så väljer man att se den stora bilden. Här får ni den. Men det går ju inte att låta bli att fastna/studsa lite på uttalandet; ”Vad xxx får jag för pengarna?” Högst relevant fråga. 😊
