LEGO-compatible prosthetic arm developed for kids


Carlos Arturo Torres Tovar from the Umeå University in Sweden has created a prosthetic arm that can be outfitted with LEGO toys in place of its hand piece, letting kids be creative and have fun using their own LEGO builds.
 
 
The prosthetic, named IKO, is designed to empower children with disabilities while also letting them explore their creative side, creating a “bridge between a playful experience and an everyday prosthetic system.” — Bea Montenegro/TJD, GMA News
