Indonesian develops self made bionic prosthesis
An Indonesian man has managed to overcome his disability by developing his own robotic prosthesis.
The 31-year-old Wayan Sumardana suffered a stroke six months ago, which left his left arm paralyzed. He made the bionic arm in his workshop in the country’s island of Bali.
During the course of his education in machine engineering in high school, he looked for information to design a robot hand that could help him move his left hand.
The bionic arm works by using signals from electrodes linked to his scalp. The signals are then taken to the micro-control in his back and sent to the front. Sumardana created the device using knowledge acquired during studies at a vocational school.
With all his limitations he was able to design and create a hydraulic left arm robot that is driven by brain and enables him to work to support the family.
