The robotic prosthetic arms are a kind of robotic device that is capable of restoring the normal functions of the body part that is damaged either through trauma, disease, or by conditions at birth. Prosthetics are generally controlled by neural activity in the brain to restore motor function to where it feels natural.
The robotic prosthetic arms are of various types for diverse goals in mind. But these goals depend on the site of the amputation as well as the need of the patient. A prosthetic arm works with an array of electrodes that picks up small electrical signals from the brain when the patient thinks about moving their arm and gives direction to the robotic arm to move or adjust accordingly.
According to the latest research, the robotics market is likely to reach US$ 42.29 billion in terms of robot machines and US $ 138.03 billion in terms of robot systems by 2026 respectively. With these predictions, the demand for robotics and robotic prosthetic arms developing companies is gaining momentum. Here are the top 10 start-up companies developing robotic prosthetic arms.
