LEGO-Compatible Prosthetic Arm


Recommended Posts

This is one of the coolest uses for LEGO bricks I've seen in a while. Carlos Arturo Torres Tovar recently completed a project at the Umea Institute of Design entitled Prosthetics for Kids as a Creative and Social Tool. What all that means is that he created a prosthetic arm for kids that is compatible with LEGO elements, allowing kids to use their creativity to build whatever kind of hand they want.
