From $30,000 to $200: slashing the cost of prosthetic hands
An interdisciplinary team of Master of Engineering students are working to reduce the cost of bionic “smart” prostheses by redesigning the electronic controller board, and making it compatible with inexpensive 3D printed prosthetic hands. The Project Sparthan team, including bioengineers Davide Asnaghi and Alva Liang, recently won the 3rd place in the Hardware for Good category of the Big Ideas competition at UC Berkeley.
