BrainCo showcases robotic hand that's precise enough to allow a wearer to write calligraphy
CES may be full of robot's but not many have the same grip on humanity as those made by BrainCo. Among the towering TVs, smart appliances, and myriad other consumer-facing gadgets, BrainCo's line of fine-tuned prosthetic hands seem to reach out through the crowd - not just for their surprising capabilities, but for their ability to change people's lives. The hand is designed for amputees who have lost their forearm and is controlled by assessing the motion of the wearer's own muscles. While other prosthetics have achieved similar feats, BrainCo is granular enough that a wearer can move each and every individual finger, restoring not just grip but many fine-motor tasks. BrainCo's robotic hand (pictured above) could help amputees regain abilities to move fingers and grip items by reading electrical signals sent from the brain In a demonstration, the hand was able to pick up a cup and place it back down on the table.
