2020: Announcement of a bionic hand of BrainRobotics Hand
At the end of December, 2020 engineers of BrainRobotics created a prosthesis of new generation. The bionic hand with opportunities of AI not only gives to disabled people exact control over each finger, allowing them to execute numerous gestures and captures, but also studies new movements in use. At the same time the bionic hand of BrainRobotics costs 30% less, than high-functional prostheses, available in the market.
The prosthesis of BrainRobotics is made of aluminum and plastic of aviation level. According to developers, the algorithm BrainRobotics traces the smallest muscular signals, will transform them to the movements of hands and studies over time. Disabled people need "to think" only of the movement of any finger or of gesture that the prosthesis caught a muscular signal and remembered its value. According to representatives of the company, at such initial training the bionic hand will be ready to work in 15 minutes. The prosthesis will react to each of muscular triggers written during initial exercise, and the owner of a bionic hand will be able intuitively to execute the conceived movements and gestures which with practice will become all realistichny.
The BrainRobotics company developed two versions of a hand: a two-channel prosthesis with two sensors attached to the user's extremity and more functional eight-channel prosthesis with eight sensors. The two-channel device allows to execute up to 24 movements of a hand and passes tests which will be complete in the first quarter 2021. The eight-channel device with unlimited combinations of movements of hands is the following in queue on a research.
The bionic hand of BrainRobotics is estimated by the producer at $14,000 whereas comparable prosthetics can cost from $20,000 to $40,000. Bionic extremities with similar functionality, but more similar to a human hand, can cost up to $100,000, the company notes.[1]
