He bought the equipment at the online store abroad, and he printed it with a 3D printer.
It took this student six months to do that. He says he can do it much faster now.
The robot hand that can in the future adapt to people instead of a static prosthetic that moves to the influence of muscles. The hand has five motors in it that make linear movement, move straight ahead and back”.
“up to 90 percent is the measure of accuracy and the 10 percent that may be wrong. The person needs testing and tests until he knows, learn to work with it. This hand can serve as a much cheaper prosthesis and prosthetics and offers much more than normal prosthetics. This hand if you put this hand on it, and after five years normally, the child or person freely changes the size of one hand to all the electric parts, the engines are stored and only print a larger size and put it all for a very low cost you don't need to change the entire prosthesis”, Toplica told REL.
At the Orthopedic Clinic, about 3 thousand people per year require services/prothesis for one of their body members.
Setting a robot hand cannot be done without consulting the orthopedic.
In the near future, Andrew says he can start producing more such equipment for those in need.
