How about a prosthetic arm that grows with you? Meet the Hero Arm by Open Bionics. Each one of these bionic arms is custom-built using 3D scanning / printing technologies, and it’s also the first to be medically certified. It utilizes multiple sensors to enable its wearer to control the hand, complete with haptic vibrations, sounds, buttons, and lights for intuitive operation.

This arm also has muscle sensors that enable lifelike precision and multiple grips, while weighing in at less than 2.2-pounds, which means it’s suited for anyone over the age of eight. It’s available in a variety of models and sizes to suit both adults and children, with swappable covers to boot. It’s currently available through prosthetic clinics in the UK, USA, and France.
