Bionic arms ambassador Daniel Melville hopes for a more advanced, affordable future

Born without a part of his right arm, Daniel Melville grew up using simple prosthetics that didn’t serve any functional purpose. It wasn’t until he partnered with Open Bionics that he was able to use what the company calls Hero Arms, advanced artificial limbs that permit him to alter his grip and perform everyday activities like drawing, carrying groceries, and playing games on PC.

“There’s a lot I’d love to see [get added in the arms] in the future, but at the moment, they’re doing what I need them to do. Even if I go shopping, that’s still massively helpful,” Melville said.
