Modern-day replacement arms and legs are made of silicone and carbon fibre, and increasingly they are bionic. The assistive devices landscape is littered with products that, while impressive, can cost many times an average yearly salary. That puts most devices out of reach for many disabled people who statistics show are more likely to be among the poorest in society. However, atom Limbs uses advanced sensors and machine learning – where computers train themselves to become more accurate to interpret electrical signals from a person’s brain and use them to move and manipulate a prosthetic limb. The arm has a full range of human motion in the elbow, wrist, and individual fingers and it provides haptic feedback to the wearer on their grip strength. Are the bionic Arms really helping to solve the challenges faced by the disabled considering they are very expensive ?
