6 years ago I started trying to create a bionic hand I started out with small projects And moved on to more complex ones I learned how to control things using my muscle signals And then started applying it to my other projects After about a year, I had a basic understanding of the technology And tried to create my own bionic hand I found an open source hand model called the Brunel Hand 2.0 And with the help of my college design team We successfully built an A.I. enhanced bionic hand for amputees For only $600 The college project was an incredible success But the most amazing thing happened at the beginning of 2020 We got to meet Army Ranger Ryan Davis And get flipped off by him! WITH OUR OWN HAND! After meeting Ryan, this wasn't a project anymore I wanted to bring this tech to the world But the open source hand had a lot of flaws... So... In 2020 I created a company to make prosthetic devices more affordable And redesigned the hand from scratch In 2021 We went through 34 Prototype Iterations Each iteration better and stronger than the last In 2022 we refined the design and in partnership with Ukraine... Video Taken in Ukraine We achieved our first fully functional prototype And now in 2023... We are excited to announce Research & Development has finally concluded And we have successfully built the world's most affordable Bionic Hand Our first trials are expected to begin in the next few months The Genesis Hand is scheduled to be available for purchase before the year's end Thank you all for your infinite support on TikTok None of this would have been possible without y'all letting this go viral back in 2020 And while this may seem like the end of the bionic hand story It's really just the beginning I hope you'll all continue following this journey And thank you again.

6 years ago I started trying to create a bionic hand. I started out with small projects and moved on to more complex ones. I learned how to control things using my muscle signals and then started applying it to my other projects. After about a year, I had a basic understanding of the technology and tried to create my own bionic hand. I found an open source hand model called the Brunel Hand 2.0 and with the help of my college design team, we successfully built an A.I. enhanced bionic hand for amputees for only $600. The college project was an incredible success, but the most amazing thing happened at the beginning of 2020. We got to meet Army Ranger Ryan Davis and get flipped off by him! WITH OUR OWN HAND! After meeting Ryan, this wasn't a project anymore. I wanted to bring this tech to the world, but the open source hand had a lot of flaws. So... In 2020 I created a company to make prosthetic devices more affordable and redesigned the hand from scratch. In 2021 we went through 34 prototype iterations, each iteration better and stronger than the last. In 2022 we refined the design and in partnership with Ukraine... We achieved our first fully functional prototype. And now in 2023... We are excited to announce Research & Development has finally concluded and we have successfully built the world's most affordable Bionic Hand. Our first trials are expected to begin in the next few months. The Genesis Hand is scheduled to be available for purchase before the year's end. Thank you all for your infinite support on TikTok. None of this would have been possible without y'all letting this go viral back in 2020. And while this may seem like the end of the bionic hand story, it's really just the beginning. I hope you'll all continue following this journey and thank you again. Oh! And the company's name is: Alt-Bionics. Building A Brighter, More Accessible Future.
