The i-Limb hand has the inclusion of a thumb that like a human thumb can rotate into different positions for grip configurations. All five digits are individually powered allowing the hand to imitate the true movement and lifelike accuracy of a human hand.
Touch Bionics developed a thin layer of semi-transparent material that has been computer-molded to accurately wrap to every contour of the hand. This i-Limb Skin provides a grip surface while protecting the hand from dust and moisture. They have also teamed up with Livingskin to create a custom cosmesis that will anatomically blend with the rest of their body for a more lifelike covering. |
