The cheap robotic hand set to revolutionise prosthetics: 3D-printed device performs advanced tasks for a fraction of the cost

The cheap robotic hand set to revolutionise prosthetics: 3D-printed device performs advanced tasks for a fraction of the cost | Daily Mail Online: "Robotic hands are becoming increasingly responsive and dexterous, but their cost is one of the reasons why they're not more widely available. 

The 3D-printed robotic hand (pictured) by Open Bionics has won the UK leg of the 2015 James Dyson Award and will go forward to compete for the £30,000 ($46,965) global prize

This may be about to change, however, after a firm in Plymouth has designed an advanced bionic hand that costs less than £1,000 ($1,565)."
