Open Bionics: The Hero Arm
Open Bionics
Meet the world's first clinically tested, medically certified, and FDA registered 3D-printed bionic arm. Available now at prosthetics clinics in the UK. Grab, pinch, high-five, fist bump, thumbs-up. Welcome to the future, where disabilities are superpowers.
Aged 17, Joel Gibbard began tinkering with robotic hands. There was something about the movement of a disembodied humanoid hand that captured his imagination. Hundreds of prototypes and many crates of failures later, in 2014, Joel co-founded Open Bionics with Samantha Payne.
The Open Bionics co-founders were recently named as the 2018 Hottest Startup Founders in Europe. With the help of an awesome team and the support of the limb different community, they’re pioneering a new bionic age inspired by science fiction.
The company is based in Bristol UK. With 17 working, trustworthy employees; doing work and playing games. They have won a ton of awards including the Guinness World Record.
These all stuff is interesting to us in the context of reading but more entertaining and helpful to kids having limb differences.
The coolest part is that they are working with "Disney" to make Marvel, star wars and frozen superstars Hero Arms. Disney word indeed makes us so anxious.
They are working with NHS England, the Bristol Centre for Enablement, Bath University, and Gyrobot on a world-first clinical trial to make affordable bionic arms available for children in the UK.
This is a really really interesting and important gadget which would be useful to tons of people and make them feel same as the others without any disabilities. Make children happy through sharing this to all of your friends, relatives and your dear ones.
