Description

Kwawu 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 is the second generation of the Kwawu arm. It has been redesigned to be more natural looking and more functional. The terminal device has a much higher grip strength and functionality, and this design is very effective at picking up small things with the index finger and thumb and big things with the entire hand. There are three versions of this arm: a thermoform version, a socket version, and a terminal-only version. Please take note that when downloading directly, the files are named based on the version.
