Bionic Kids: Roboter-Arme für Kinder im Cyberpunk-Anime- und Sci-Fi-Movie-Style

Open Bionics produziert für behinderte Kids bionische Roboter-Arme im Look von Iron Man, Star Wars und dank der Live-Action-Verfilmung des Cyberpunk-Animes nun auch à la Battle Angel Alita. Die 13-jährige Tilley Lockey bekam von der Bionik-Firma aus UK (& 20th Fox, James Cameron und Regisseur Robert Rodriguez) die erste Version geschenkt und stahl damit bei der Premiere des Films allen die Show.
Und ich glaube, die Zukunft samt technologischen Fortschritt und Robotern ist vielleicht gar nicht der Untergang der Menschheit, sondern eventuell auch einfach ziemlich cool. Mit Roboter-Armen für Kids statt Roboter-Armeen für Erwachsene. Inklusive Cyborg-High-Fives, Techno-Fist-Bumps und Superpowers. ??

Meet the Hero Arm, the world's first clinically approved 3D-printed bionic arm, with multi-grip functionality and empowering aesthetics. Engineered by our awesome team in Bristol, UK, the Hero Arm is a lightweight and affordable myoelectric prosthesis, available now for below elbow amputee adults and children aged eight and above. Grab, pinch, high-five, fist bump, thumbs-up. Welcome to the future, where disabilities are superpowers.

For Tilly is, in many ways, the real-life Alita: a bionic young woman, with astonishing state-of-the-art robotic arms that look exactly like those of her fantasy counterpart.

The schoolgirl, who lost her hands and forearms to meningitis as a baby, is one of a small but growing group to sport HeroArms – technically advanced prosthetics with hands and wrists that move and grip like the real thing.

Astonishingly, the user simply has to think about a desired movement and the HeroArm’s fingers spring into life.
