At MIT Biomechatronics Lab researchers are studying how humans move to create machines that can give amputees new abilities.

Watching this video many suggestions arise about the role of re-design, which often focuses on the usual objects in the usual way, not giving  a chance for enabling more capacities to human beings.
No question that designing a new chair or any other "usual" object could be interesting in terms of innovation in aesthetic language, new materials uses and technologies, but I believe that the real "value of innovation" lies in those objects, spaces and services which investigate and propose new roles and abilities for humans and foster a consciuosness of their role in the planet.
