At the heart of our work is our flagship product — a robotic prosthetic hand developed using low-cost, proprietary technology. This advanced prosthetic operates through EMG muscle signal sensors, which detect muscle activity in the user’s remaining limb. This intuitive control allows users to perform everyday tasks such as grasping objects and eating, restoring independence and improving quality of life.
