EXIII HACKberry: 3D printable electric prosthetic arm


The HACKberry is a 3D printable electric prosthetic arm created by exiii Inc a Japanese robotics company based in Tokyo and specialized in bionic arms.


The hand works by detecting when nerve and muscle tissue is stimulated by signals from the brain and sends that data to an onboard micro controller to translate into hand and arm movements. The system enables users of the prosthesis to open and close the hand and even control individual fingers.

The hand uses an under actuated mechanism to control precise movements and obtain self-adaptability when grasping different objects with its 3DOF fingers.

BMW is building tricked-out wheelchairs for the Paralympics


Made out of carbon fiber and whittled down to only the most essential parts, the BMW wheelchair is designed by the BMW's Design Works lab to be an aerodynamic extension of the athlete's body.

 

The lab customizes each chair. Using a combination of 3D scans and body measurements, each chair is molded to fit an athlete's body exactly so that there is minimal shaking or movement during a race. Wheelchair racers typically create their own custom gloves from hobby putty, so BMW borrowed their favorite gloves and 3D scanned them so they could print out a new, more durable and lightweight pair on demand.

REAGIRO: The first freehand maneuverable wheelchair


REAGIRO is the first manual wheelchair for everyday use that can be maneuvered hands-free.

 

Ergonomic operation and the associated positive user experience are at the heart of this new concept. The purely mechanical control system has a fixed front axle and is steered by lateral tilting of the upper body, whereby the movements performed strengthen the back muscles. Hands and shoulders have a lesser load than is the case with commercial models and it is also possible, while driving, to hold a cell phone, a coffee or an umbrella. This combination of more freedom of movement and intuitive control results in a more varied driving experience and increases the satisfaction of using a wheelchair.
