Open source prosthetics with Cliff Agius

On today’s show, Jim is joined by Cliff, a pilot and IoT and mobile developer from the UK. He’s mixed the power of 3D modeling software, consumer 3D printers, low priced IoT hardware and a mobile app to build an open source bionic hand that can be customized for a range of tasks, from picking things up, to playing Xbox.
