Even with a #bionic hand, you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette - & probably get a few shells in there too 🍳🤖✨.
I get a lot of questions on whether I can “feel” what I’m grabbing with my #bebionic (@ottobockus_ca) hand... (thread)
Currently there aren’t any commercially available haptic feedback systems for these devices. The only way I “know” how hard I’m grabbing is from practice - whether it’s on my own body [you can find me pinching myself quite frequently] or on an egg. 🍳🤖
When you take vision out of the equation (as in me not looking at my hand), if it’s a task I’ve done enough like shaking hands, it’s down to muscle memory. 🤖🤝🤖
I “remember” the strength of the muscle impulse I need to send to the electrodes from my residual limb to give a “firm” or “good” handshake. 🤖🤝🤖
I’m excited for the day haptic feedback systems can be better integrated into these devices taking a lot of the “thought” out of the equation and just being able to “do.” ✨🤖💭
