Today I want to invite you together
let’s do a bionic experiment for
we are going to close our eyes and
let’s remember our animal
Favourite
imagine your shape remember in your
colors
how to move if they are thinking
a bird
remember your wings are thinking by
example on an elephant
remember your trunk the awesomeness of your
ears
now try to take a
unique characteristic of this animal and
imagine that they have the power to
transform this feature into a
technological application
for example if they took once
today engineers are inspired
in the birds to generate more airplanes
aerodynamic
on the other hand if they thought of an elephant
nowadays the biological technology of
the elephants is used to find
water in arid to large areas
distances and thereby save lives
now open your eyes
watch your hands
my team and I focused on creating
technology based on
characteristics of the human body and with
create technology that benefits
people for example arms
bionic hearts bionic legs
that’s what we do
my team but for all that
we need a lot of knowledge and a lot
practice
but the essence of all this is the
curious curiosity that we all have
of children and what we still have today
in day and this curiosity was the one that
took for the first time to meet
Leonardo da Vinci
I met him in his biography and I gave myself
account that all features
biological animals and
transformed into futuristic technology
imagine the ability to think about the
future and that nowadays
leonardo da vinci existed and saw the
applications that he has achieved and one of
they is the helicopter
thanks to your observation today
we have this technology
the reason for this I decided to take the
bionic engineering
however only one school will
offered the polytechnic institute
national and there is a unit where it was
specialized that was the unit
interdisciplinary professional
engineering and advanced technologies a
giant man when I apply this
school they tell me it ‘s the hardest
of entering Mexico and the most
competitive and is the only one that offers
career that I dream applied and a month
I receive the results of performing a
examination and the first thing they tell me to
getting results is a keyword
important in my life has rejected in
that moment I felt that maybe it was not
what mine is surely would take
a long time or could change
career but they spent 24 hours and get
an email that they tell me is not that
I would have been accepted but for me
surname villarreal that always catches them
a little bit wrong I had selected in
two careers in mechatronics and in
bionic engineering
so good for me it was very happy
know that there is an error and that
had been part of this team came in
in the bionic engineering career and
I know incredible personalities
teachers who inspired us
creative partners and little by little we
we realize that there are opportunities
around the world and very young we
offer the possibility of traveling to others
countries and in this possibility it appears
one of the best countries in
creativity and innovation to which I
I would travel later
this country is swedish sweden is full
of energy technology
creativity is very vibrant
so I embark for the first time to go
to Sweden the first time he took a
plane and the truth ends up seeing from the
Lord of the rings all the way
but it was amazing makes it came to
Sweden
they receive me with a tasting quality of
incredible people
The first thing they do is smile and
accept me it did not matter that the country
I was almost alone because almost every
ten kilometers you had a person
then it did not matter
I wanted to know this country if I wanted
apply but when starting my subjects I
I realize that I am subject despite
be very innovative they were not very
focused on the British area being me
a little disappointed by this situation
if he told me my coordinator of
coordinator tells me you know edgar I’ll
I recommend that you go to an event that
2020 horizon flame tries a little
Elegant
so I got ready the next day
I’m in a suit arrived very happy but
Imagine crossing the city unless
six degrees or rifle for me came to me and
The first thing that happens is that you tell me you’re
Spanish
I ‘m not Mexican, I ‘m very young,
being here is not a little surprised
because coordinator Maria sent well
that seems like a good idea and what more
I like it is that when I enter
They offer a glass of water a very person
elegant and tall and subsequently entered
this incredible room went the prizes
nobel of physical chemistry biology of
medicine and at the beginning of the conference
something that will impact a lot was that
person who did not offer that glass of water
is the prince of sweden is like the
analogous to the president of mexico
this person had offered us water
the entrance and everyone was looking for the
way how to improve the world for the
future
we are in the year 2013
and they are already creating strategies for
improve the world in 2020
they talk about mexico talk about countries in
development but the most important thing is
that create in me an empathy and I
I felt like his friend and there I met
also to pitarke peter higgs was who
discovered the god particle
the origin of the universe
in this particular anything
we see exist and approached me
he and asked him
Peter when you discovered the particle
of God
you thought you would win the prize one day
nobel and he tells me I have not done no
I thought I would win it in life because it was something
very complex but you know edgar takes me
He says as if he were his grandson Chávez
Edgar, what I was looking for was to know how
the universe worked
at that moment I realized that
we as humans can go more
beyond our personal success and
transcend barriers with this emotion
I go with my coordinator and I tell her
coordinator I want to change my subject
I want to enter an institute that
approach to create innovative medicine and
coordinator tells me if there is an institute
but it’s not here you have to cross the
city so I’m going to check if there is
place because you’re already in the middle of
means
I tell you tomorrow the next day
he came with it he says yes
there is only one place but that goes
difficult is going to be difficult to apply like this
that does not matter applied and they accept me and
he led this institute is called the
karolinska institute
then this institute would have to
delivers the Nobel Prize for Medicine for
me incredible that experience because at
get the first thing they tell me is to
know how you want to lead a team and
I say yes, I want to direct a
team did not know that I was getting
sincerely because because when you start
the class the first thing they tell the
students is the people who chose
direct a team go to the front and
I spent with three other colleagues and
after
you select other people and you
people who selected for me
team had a lot more
experience
one of them is the director of
innovation of the same institute
I am surprised to know how
I’m going to lead a team of this magnitude
as I ‘m going to do it but at the end
this whole course filled me with a
incredible emotion because people
they believed in me and my team believed in me
and he strengthened me and my teacher
offers the opportunity to work with
him in an innovation company that
I felt at that moment that I was
complete my life I was very flattered
to receive this opportunity
however he tells me you know garcia
he has his post
you can start to create technology
but we’ll see you in a week because
I want to know you more came back to the
week and he tells me something very important
is to win what you want to do
I say, I do not want to create technology that
improve the quality of life of
people no longer put their feet in the
earth and you tell me you know what happens is
that here in this company your
applications are going to reach people
in 30 40 50 years or maybe never come
because it does not apply this technology in
mexico I believe in you so he came back
with that energy mexico commented to
my professors and teachers are going to
change everything
let’s make more innovative plans
let’s create better technology
let’s do something amazing and the
first answer you get from one of
my teachers have already finished your
practice
well she had finished it
our teachers do not motivate to know
a little bit more about the race and it’s
as well as they offer us the opportunity to
work on a project which is about
to control a bionic prosthesis by
medium of thought very much like
matrix told us that it was very
difficult that possibly not what
we would achieve but if we wanted what
we could do what I do with my
companion company will be called there
and with that we develop a prosthesis
which was controlled by the
brain
imagine being completely stopped
for two hours and a system
analyzing the signals of your brain
and that suddenly the prosthesis will be and
closes without moving a single muscle to the
next week
after working so many years in
this project we publish a photo in
facebook and in that photo someone
write that invites us to a center
child rehabilitation in mexico
we go to the center and we see our dream
We wanted to apply this technology in
we saw many children like that
that we decided to start making a
project but our technology in that
moment was very limited
imagine having so many patients and
so much need but the technology that
we had at that time it was not so
advanced
fortunately for that moment already
is open to collaboration with a
Japanese company that wanted to open
collaboration with people around
world and we apply but when applying we
they say that at least they should
ensure that we want to develop
technology with them during the
following 10 years and that
approximately the license of use is
in 40 million pesos for me it was
shocking to receive those numbers but not
we leave our work behind and
we continue to receive patients and we continue
working and we do not close the door with
this company and in fact we comment
some jokes with them and we make ourselves
great friends
three months later I was already in the
office working all three of the
very passionate tomorrow in a project and
received a call from the entrepreneur who
direct this company tell me you know edgar
we have seen the work they have done
we would like to collaborate with you but
we are not going to charge you a single
cent of this license so together
let’s make this technology for the world
those words for me were
incredible because they gave me strength
to move forward
also believe in people to the
next week we received one of
our patients that we had not
could accept because we did not have the
technology at that time
this patient is called sebastián and
Sebastian was born without his hand was a
two-year-old boy at that time
Sebastian
for us it was very important because
for she had a surprise for him
we have a gift that we had his
3d prosthesis company with possibility of
create and it will be a bionic prosthesis
future and something incredible happens with
Sebastian when he receives it
the first thing he does is put the
look more hands and then it
something incredible happens also the blow
towards me and the only thing he does is
hug him he did not say anything just luis a
second after the first thing he does is
take his little hand and make me gnaw on me
I loved it but at that moment I
I realized that all the work and all the
effort had been worth more than worth
that we have managed to generate technology
and happiness in someone in a child who
born that way and yet happiness
he contagious us why I want to invite them
to all of you to use your
know your skills for
improve the quality of life of
people and most importantly if
you have a dream which
will improve the lives of people or of
thousands of people around the world
never drop it thank you very much
[Applause]
