If you think that bionic arms controlled by the mind only exists in movies, well you are wrong indeed.
A man from Bali, Indonesia was able to create a bionic arm using the junk that he has in his workshop. This 31-year old man named Wayan Sumardana more known as Tawan had a mild stroke before that left his left hand and arm paralyzed.
This prevented him from working until he saw his who was crying because they did not have anything to eat nor money to buy snacks. It pushed him to do better.
He used his knowledge in electrical engineering and welding to be able to come up with this machine.
Tawan can transmit signals from his head to the bionic arms to have it function like a real arm.
“It’s similar to a lie detector. There are electrodes attached to my scalp, whose functions are to take small signals from the head. These signals would not be detected without this device. The signal is brought forward to an enlarged signal and then taken to the micro-control in my back and transferred to the front,” Tawan said.
