Grippy Bionic Hand

DESCRIPTION

Grippy Bionic Hand is a Medical-Robots from Robo Bionics. It is built for Material-Handling, Medical-Assistance, Rehabilitation. Key figures: 0.3 kg.

Grippy is a powered bionic prosthetic hand from Robo Bionics for people with upper-limb amputation. Instead of relying only on electrical (EMG) signals, it uses mechanomyography (MMG) sensing, which picks up the vibration of contracting muscles; the maker says this gives reliable intent detection where EMG is noisy and needs less skin contact. The hand offers adaptive multi-grip control with on-device learning. The maker gives the hand's weight as 340 g and describes a carbon-fibre structure, vibro-tactile feedback that lets users feel when they are holding an object, custom ventilated sockets designed from muscle-mapping data, and slim natural-looking covers. Grippy logs usage data that feeds the company's patient app and Impact Dashboard. Grippy is fitted through partner limb clinics in a guided programme: muscle evaluation with BrawnBand, at-home pre-rehab with WeightBand and gamified apps, then fitment and training over 7 days (the homepage cites 15 days). Robo Bionics sells largely through NGO and CSR programmes; ICICI Securities describes three disability-empowerment fitment drives in a testimonial. The device is tested to IEC 60601-1 and 60601-1-2 and carries a one-year warranty.
