Affordable Robotic Limbs With Smartphone Technology

HandiiirogoTECH REPUBLIC - Apr 9 - Exiii has created a 3D printed myoelectric arm that will sell for considerably less than the standard prosthetic. The arm works in conjunction with a smartphone app to interpret signals from the wearer's remaining limb to convert those signals into movement. The connection between arm and smartphone is wireless--so the wearer wouldn't need to have the smartphone constantly attached.
