First Principles | The Future of Prosthetics is Here | Tyler Hayes, AtomLimbs @1stPrinciplesFM | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
AtomLimbs is building the world's highest-performance myoelectric bionic arm.
Their new V2 arm is amazing: each finger has its own set of tiny actuators, so you can do basically any normal gesture or grip.
And you can train it in seconds. As we demo here.
