ISLAMABAD – In their efforts to help differently-abled people of thecountry, two Pakistani engineers named Mohammad Awais, and Anas Nazir, haverecently developed a prosthetic arm (denoting an artificial body part) thatcan be controlled by giving commands via the brain, *ProPakistani reports*.
It is worth mentioning here that prosthesis is the process of theartificial substitute or replacement of a part of the body such as a kneeor another joint, the leg, an arm, etc. A prosthesis is designed forfunctional or cosmetic reasons or both. Typical prostheses for joints arethe hip, knee, elbow, ankle, and finger joints.
Computers scientists have long been working on this area and manyprototypes have been developed around the world. The prosthetic body partsare more useful for disabled people when they are made compliant with nervecells of the brain so that the brain could give them commands to obey.
The two Pakistani engineers who developed this robotic arm started workingon bio-robotics link a universityproject. While talking to Dawn News, Mohammad Awais said that;
