Diwakar presents the cheapest robotic prosthetic arm in the world, completely made in India (actually 3D printed). Robotic prosthetics are prohibitively expensive for most people and for millions living without a limb, every day is a struggle for survival.
With several inventions dividing costs and multiplying functionality, this robotic arm is revolutionary for most people.
