truly so i have 3 children, 6 year old, a 4 year old and a 2 year old and they all the kids are very excited about it. they think it's amazing that i'm like half human hoffer, but half human half robots display on it prosthetic can give us that impression. the device converts electrical impulses from the upper arm, muscles, into finger booth, with a special laughed associates group patterns with circling muscle movements. and uses can configure with themselves at home or low technicians to do it remotely. so we've tried to build in the technology which allows us to connect to the hand. anyway, basically in the world on change configuration on the device instantaneously on the fly for the customer. the sensor bracelets is being tested at the university of sydney in australia. it's designed to detect the slightest movements of attendance which controlled hundreds, the sort of movements, and then transmitted by

a bluetooth to a program. who taught you a copy of the tunnel like that and move your fingers a little bit. you will see tiny vibrations happening in your wrist, and this, that's how our party moves so fingers. so all of a sensor, actually because those vibrations and be especially learning any i to make sense of those vibrations to figure out which finger is moving and how much due to a medical condition area and shot has limited mobility. in his left hand. he's testing the sensor bracelets by playing simple computer games. it's movements are interpreted into the game. it's a lot less movement that you need to use it that i've passed the august highest. we can make me a bit more functional with my left hand, i guess, specially for computers perspective like studying and using it all day. there are many projects around the world focused on the sense of touch at the university of

preston buquet. researchers are working on simulating the different layers of human skin to allow robots to have a real human touch. disc come in handy for making future prosthetics. we treat the print, not similar structure in colorado, all sufficient skin so that it can be phones called facts in a similar way to save human skin. but instead of having no effect things, we instead mounts a camera in sight, the sensor. and we can see the cable coming from here. so that picks up that movement. it's supposed to feel like the structures inside this all facial skin. so cameras are being used to simulate human touch. what a fascinating approach. cameras are also used as a tool for people who are blind or have low vision. take this scheduled for example . it can be attached to glasses. users can turn in the direction of the given text and either give a voice command or press their finger down to have it read aloud. the i can be

trained to recognize certain products and faces to the development of these devices often involve the same technology that's used in other sectors like autonomy was driving. the am technology that's used to keep a ton of mis vehicles on the road is also useful for pedestrians. this 5 hookup just helps lines and people with low vision navigate the cities. the cameras imbedded in the device detect obstacles within a $170.00 degree angle woman uses with 3 d sounds like kind of imagine that like this, if an object is moving towards a user, there's the risk of a collision bypass warns them with a sound similar to parking assistant modern cars. if there's an object on your left, you'll hear the obstacle on your left hand side for sounds indicate where the obstacle is. there a different sounds depending on whether it's the call person opens that's in the
