Prosthetics in the Future
• Currently out is the Proto 2, which is the greatest innovation in prosthetics.
• It is a “thought controlled” prosthetic arm, where movement is controlled with your mind.
• Researchers are currently working on improving the arm to give it more movement and decrease the battery size.
