Ashwell, who is a product manager at an online fashion forecasting and trend service, said, "The movements now come easily and look natural; I keep finding myself being surprised by the little things, like being able to carry my purse while holding my boyfriend's hand."
Bebionic small hand works using sensors triggered by the user's muscle movements that connect to individual motors in each finger and powerful microprocessors. The technology comprises a system which tracks and senses each finger, mimicking the functions of a real hand.
The hand features 14 selectable grip patterns, enabling the user to perform many everyday activities and is strong enough to cope with forces up to 45kg. Ashwell added: "I've been able to do things never before possible like riding a bike and lifting weights."
