this robotic hand can learn to cooperate with its wearer thanks to artificial intelligence. is its teacher and also its owner. today both can use his robotic arm to carry out amazingly precise and fluid movements for him the ai based technology has opened up a new realm of possibilities. and it is in front of this system is the fact that it has to be just me having to adapt to the system it's a game changer i don't have to think about what i want my robot to do for them it's just does it is automatically them or there's. both congo is a farmer who lives in bavaria in southeastern germany. tending to his crops and livestock is all he's ever wanted to do but after a farming accident his lower arm had to be amputated to continue farming you needed

an artificial limb. daniella versed deferred works for the prosthesis manufacturer auto box she specializes in teaching patients like. how to use their ai based robotic limbs the initial training process takes several weeks this specially designed to cuff is fitted with 8 pairs of electrodes they recognise tiny movements in the muscles of the upper arm and affix your allies in these tiny movements and stores them as movement patterns. is good and the cuff and app are connected by bluetooth and in them inside the cuff there are lots of electrodes these tiny impulses involved will be transferred onto the. both gandara is learning how to use his robotic limb the tiny muscle impulses he's learning. need to be as distinct as possible that way the press that it can link

each impulse to a specific movement. is not starting from scratch even after an amputation the brain remembers the patterns of movement needed to do things like open or close a hand once muscle impulses become associated with specific movements the robotic limb will use ai to learn specific movement patterns. the electrodes inside the robotic limb register the muscle impulses from the upper arm. the app matches these muscular patterns to specific movements and stores them. while both kong was learning the basics the company's engineers were building his robotic limb now it's ready to learn and adapt to both gone by was movement patterns. all the patient has to do is imagine carrying out all their lives with a missing hand the system can distinguish among those imagined movements and then

object being touched. it will take many more months of training and therapy for both gone by hour to continue refining how he uses his intelligent robotic forearm he's made a lot of progress already with a lot of patients and practice he and his robotic limb will eventually become a well oiled team. if you just have to carry all that there is when something doesn't work if you just have to keep trying it is some movements work right away well this require more time and for that practice important with practice will help the ai based device continue to learn and improve the high tech robotic arm the training and therapy and the customized fitting cost around 60000 euros. model can perform 14 different grasping movements and hand positions it's precise enough for typing on

a keyboard or using a mobile phone. each finger contains separate small motors that allows each finger to move and grasp objects in a more natural and coordinated manner and he can swap out the hand depending on what he's working on when he's cleaning the barn he uses a sturdy one that can only rotate. open and close. the more delicate hand can perform most any movement. quite honestly i can't imagine my life without this pos this is i use a prosthesis all day long depends on what i'm currently dealing with i use it for everyday purposes at home too for things like. there are so many things i use it for music and thanks to his robot arm both gone by our can still tend to his farm.

hand movements with his prosthesis trying to be as fast and precise as possible the tasks are challenging but this is exactly what his prosthetic hand was built to do . this is a legit posse says that means i can control it using muscle impulses that are detected by electrodes in the device i can open it. it's an axis but it didn't include that function. which feels more reliable to me being able to rely on my hand is the most important thing to me. long 2020 was supposed to be a major event all the planning was complete but then the covert $1000.00 pandemic hit. the pentagon wouldn't be over anytime soon and that we'd still be dealing with this september but we decided to change the
