China wins arm prosthesis competition

China Daily  

Xu Min and her team demonstrate her bionic prosthesis at a promotional event for Cybathlon 2024, which will attract 160 teams from across the world. Demonstrating China's strength in assistive technologies, a woman participant from Jiangsu province emerged winner in Cybathlon global finals recently held in Zurich, Switzerland. Wearing a robotic forearm prosthesis, the amputee, who lost her right forearm three decades ago, managed to complete 10 tasks smoothly and accurately, including carrying bottles, hanging laundry, serving food and stacking. Song Aiguo, a professor at Southeast University, who provided the key technology for the intelligent prosthesis, said his team is developing products with higher integration with human body, more practical functions and lighter weight, aiming to bring greater convenience to the daily lives of people with disabilities. For example, his team is working on a new driving method using soft prosthesis, which functions like real fingers, making it easier to wear and more closely resembling a human hand.
