New Bionic Hand Can Detach From User, Crawl Around and Do Missions on Its Own
Briefly

Open Bionics has launched the Hero, the first wireless bionic arm, which boasts the unique ability to detach and move independently. Influencer Tilly Lockey, a double-amputee, demonstrated this feature, referring to the hand being able to embark on its own missions. Unlike traditional prosthetics that require invasive surgery, Hero arms use wireless EMG technology for movement. Lockey, who has collaborated with Open Bionics for nearly a decade, emphasized the strength of the arms, stating they have surprised her with their power.
"I can move it around even when it's not attached to the arm. It can just go on its own missions - which is kinda crazy."
"The hand can crawl away like it's got a mind of its own."
"I'm not used to being that strong yet. When I first put them on... I was, like, crushing everything."
