Better Bionics

Better Bionics is a Canadian robotics company building the next generation of dexterous hands for humans and humanoid robots. Our first product is a upper-limb Neuroprosthetics hand. A natural hand has 24 to 27 moving joints. Today’s best prosthetic cant hold a pencil or a water bottle. 2.5 million people live with upper limb differences. Current robotic prosthetic hands cost $60,000. 86% of users take on debt to afford one. 91% say their device fails in daily use. 50% abandon it within the first year. The same hand is also what humanoid robots need. The hand is about 31% of a humanoid’s bill of materials, and nobody has solved it yet. Bank of America projects 10 million humanoid robots will need hands annually by 2035.
