LEGO arm wins award in Paris
Carlos Arturo Torres has won the Grand Prix award at Netexplo, a digital technology conference, for his IKO Creative Prosthetic Arm. The prosthetic arm is designed for children requiring a prosthetic limb. A remote controlled digger is the design mainly featured for the attachment, but it allows children to design their own attachments on their arms. The base LEGO model is attached to the child's arm via a 3D-printed attachment; having these cheaper materials for prosthetics makes them far more affordable and easier to maintain.
