Po Arm

This is an elbow-driven device. To use this design, users must have a functional elbow that bends to force the fingers closed on the hand.

This work was inspired by the UnLimbited Arm team's thermoforming technique, the Funmove Forearm System, GiveMeFive's Flexy Arm, Christian Silva's works, and the Flexy Hand by GyrobotUK
