bionic arm
Powered prosthetic limb
A bionic arm is a prosthetic limb that uses electronic sensors and motors to restore movement, typically by detecting electrical signals from remaining muscles or nerves.
Unlike passive prosthetics, bionic arms can grip, rotate, and perform fine motor tasks: Her new bionic arm let her tie her own shoes for the first time in years.
The technology continues advancing toward more natural movement and sensory feedback.
