Meta introduced its new AI platform called MyoSuite in a press release. It was announced that the software will help improve prosthetics and rehabilitation techniques, while it will also be used to develop metaverse avatars.
MyoSuite was created by the team using machine learning to help examine biomechanical control problems. There is another similar software project that Meta previously called link. But the company claims the new program can run 4,000 times faster than software that models pre-existing musculoskeletal systems.
In the modeling examples, it is seen that things such as turning a key or turning a pen can be done simply, and it is thought that these behaviors can be used in the fields of prosthetics and physical rehabilitation. This does not bring us a little closer to the idea of a “spooky” future. It is debatable how ready we are for a Cyberpunk-like world. However, it will be really promising if the work spreads to the medical field.
Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement, “This research could accelerate the development of prosthetic, physical rehabilitation and surgical techniques,” he said, referring to the Metaverse. “It could also help us develop more realistic avatars for the metaverse.”
