Located on Phillip Island, the small team has provided hundreds of devices all around the world. Their designs are also being made by volunteers in Italy, Thailand, France, South Africa, Egypt, USA, Poland and others.
They are currently developing a low cost, multi-grip Bionic Arm and are making exciting progress with the latest prototype. Their goal is to make the equivalent of a $60,000 bionic arm…for under $60 in parts!
