You're controlling each individual finger

We're working with an orthopedic surgeon at the Navy to directly connect this hand to your bones with a titanium implant. - Dr. Aadeel Akhtar

NASA is using our hand, they've got it on their humanoid astronaut robot Valkyrie, and they're doing teleoperation of it. - Dr. Aadeel Akhtar

You're controlling each individual finger. Instead of the camera, imagine using nerve inputs instead. This will become a training tool for our human users to train the machine learning algorithms to learn what your nerves are trying to do. - Dr. Aadeel Akhtar

Hands are hard.

And specifically because they’re hard, certain people are drawn to the challenge.

Aadeel is one of those people.

As a young child, he saw a same aged peer with a stick for a prosthetic. That started his on a path to create a bionic, prosthetic, robotics, pick your favorite descriptor or application, human like robotic hand.

Use it as a prosthetic. Use it on a robot. Call it bionics. The goal is to deliver as close an approximation as possible.

Really cool conversation and technology and promise.
