In 2023, I started a project to create an affordable prosthetic robotic hand, which I completed in 2024.
When I began exploring how to produce, sell, and distribute the hand to those who need it, I, unfortunately, encountered the harsh reality of medical certification: an essential process with the unintended consequence of stifling small companies' projects at the outset.
So, I shifted my target slightly: a hand for robots instead of humans—an easier project to start with, at least in terms of safety, regulations, and costs.
