A seven-year-old boy born without a right hand is now beaming with joy as he tried out his new'robot arm'. Louie Morgan-Kemp, of Swavesey, Cambridgeshire, had just started fundraising for the prosthetic when a kind-hearted businessman saw his story in the news and offered to pay the full £13,000 cost. The youngster collected the Ironman-themed Hero Arm this week and can move its mechanical fingers by using muscles in his arm to press buttons inside the sleeve. Louie said the gadget, made by Bristol-based Open Bionics, helps him with picking things up, cutting food and pouring drinks. He said it was'exciting' to get the arm and he was'happy' that businessman Billy Dixon had paid for him to get it.

Shocking footage emerged at the weekend of a chess-playing robot breaking a child's finger during a match in Russia. The robot grabbed the seven-year-old boy's finger at the Moscow Open last week because it was confused by his overly-quick movements, Russian media outlets reported. Sergey Lazarev, vice-president of the Russian Chess Federation, said the child had violated'certain safety rules' by making a move too soon. Lazarev said that the machine had been hired for many previous events without any problems, and that the incident was an'extremely rare case'. Christopher Atkeson, a robotics expert at Carnegie Mellon University, told MailOnline: 'Robots have limited sensing and thus limited awareness of what is going on around them.

A chess-playing robot broke a child's finger during a tournament in Russia last week, with the incident being captured in CCTV footage. The robot grabbed the seven-year-old boy's finger because it was confused by his overly-quick movements, Russian media outlets reported, quoting the President of the Moscow Chess Federation - who seemingly blamed the child. 'The robot broke the child's finger - this, of course, is bad,' Sergey Lazarev told Russia's TASS news agency, while distancing his organisation from the robot. The incident occurred at the Moscow Open on July 19. Lazarev said that the federation had rented the robot for the event, which ran from July 13 to 21. Lazarev said that the machine had been hired for many previous events without incident, saying the boy went to move a piece too quickly after making a move.
