as two young men are bringing solutions for people who may unfortunately lose LMS due to accidents it's a good given Talent so whenever we see a problem we try to solve it practically warning please give testing the flow of the biorobotic hand system under self- testing in the heart of kikuyu Kenya two self-taught innovators have made a groundbreaking achievement in the field of artificial intelligence these inventors who lack formal education in robotics have developed a biorobotic prosthetic arm using salvaged electronic components their device ingeniously functions by capturing brain signals through a headset receiver converting these
signals into electrical currents that precisely control the movements of the prosthetic limb welcome to afro Genesis where this artificial intelligence assistant system comes to life as the systems begin to boot up you are instructed to wait for a blue light to appear then say the password Jeff to proceed further this invention created without any budget or funding offers a costeffective solution for amputees especially in regions like Kenya where traditional Prosthetics are prohibitively expensive its potential lies in its ability to dramatically transform the lives of countless individuals across Africa and Beyond as the system comes online
it showcases the capabilities of the biorobotic arm in self- testing mode ensuring optimal articulation levels and activating protocol sequences the inventors both High School dropouts are motivated by a deep passion for technology and a steadfast desire to assist others my name are David I am an innovator my name is Moses since my childhood have been a curious and a passionate innovator and our dream is not only to Live 5 years is or 10 years is to live hundred of years trying to come up with ideas that will Aid the mobility of persons living with disability
or helped persons who are in need the devic's mechanism is straightforward yet effective it employs a headset to monitor brain signals and translate them into commands for the prosthetic arm this hand is been controlled by this neuro Road by a potential headset receiver that monitors or taps the blade signals and it extracts these specific features of this blade signals that reflects the intent of the user explains one of the innovators the process involves converting these signals into usable electrical currents via radio waves which then drive the arms linear Motors to mimic natural hand movements allowing
for actions like gripping or releasing objects based on the user's thoughts unlike traditional Prosthetics that might rely on muscle signals for operation this design uses a neuron node biop potential headset for detecting neural signals offering a more intuitive and natural control mechanism from managing daily tasks to using computers this prosthetic is envisioned as a comprehensive 360° support system for individuals living with disabilities the World Health Organization notes that only 3% of people needing assistive device in low-income countries have access to them in Africa with more than 16 million amputees the demand for affordable functional Prosthetics
is aute this Kenyan Innovation not only addresses this Gap but also highlights the continent's inventive Spirit one of the inventors David initially dreamed of being a pilot or an aeronautical engineer after an unsuccessful attempt at drone flying which resulted in his drone crashing due to a loose metal piece he reconsidered his career path and from there I realized that is so dangerous and I thought if I want to continue to be a pilot is not this way but to try something else different and uh the idea of becoming an aeronautic engineer it went there and
uh I went it it got off my mind and I thought of uh creating something different that will help the society rather than killing myself that's where I met my friend in uh in the high school and we started the thought of thinking how to start machines that will help persons living with disabilities despite Financial constraints they've managed to develop over 15 projects including devices that sanitize items during the height of the covid-19 crisis and breathing apparatuses to combat airborne viruses by destroying them through the system they developed this allows individuals to move about without
fear of Contracting contagious viruses right now there are 15 projects that we have already completed as you have shown them to have we have shown them to you the others we can't be able to finish them they are in the sector of energy we have ideas in Agriculture security new invention that have never been invented also on models on how to employ the youth new schemes that have not been invented and but due to lack of funds and resources because where we get our where we get our materials are from dump site are from Old
Computers the e w Materials so right now we don't have The Cutting Edge machines or a good laboratory with equipped with equipped gadgets where we can use them to to make far more affordable and more affordable and durable product surpris ly the two couldn't continue their formal education yet they have been able to produce amazing Innovations today the main problem they face is still funding the Journey of David and Moses is a true exhibition of the challenges and yet also the potential of Grassroots innovation in solving local and potentially Global problems with limited resources they've
created a device that could benefit Millions their Journey shows the true meaning and importance of supporting local inventors who are developing Solutions tailored to their communities from a humble background with no formal education in robotics and facing numerous obstacles they still dream of a better future for themselves the people in their Community country and the world with proper funding and support from us the future holds even better possibilities for these innovators their dream is to see their biorobotic prosthetic arm in the hands of those who need it most turning disability into ability and potential as
we draw this narrative to a close the story of David and Moses from kakuyu Kenya stands as a testament to the boundless potential of human Ingenuity especially when driven by compassion and a vision for a better world their journey is a powerful reminder that Innovation is not confined to the walls of Academia or the resources of large corporations it can flourish in the humblest of settings driven by nothing more than passion curiosity and a commitment to change lives for the better these two self-taught innovators have shown us that with determination and some creative Scavenging they
could develop a robotic prosthetic arm that leverages the latest artificial intelligence to offer New Hope to amputees their achievement is not just a technological Marvel but a Beacon of Hope demonstrating how technology can be harnessed to address some of the most pressing human needs where traditional Solutions fall short due to cost or availability the biorobotic arm they've created using salvaged components and a deep understanding of neural signals isn't merely an advancement in Prosthetics it's a symbol of what's possible when we dare to think beyond our limitations their work in afro Genesis with its focus on
making AI technology accessible and beneficial speaks volumes about the kind of future we can build one where technology serves Humanity comprehensively especially those who are often overlooked however their Journey also illuminates the challenges faced by Grassroots innovators lack of funding access to Advanced Equipment and formal education have not halted their progress but have certainly shaped it with more support the impact of their Innovations could be exponentially greater not just in Kenya but worldwide where Millions wait for affordable life-changing prosthetic Solutions therefore this story is also a call to action it beckons us to invest in
Local Heroes to fund not just projects but dreams that have the power to alter the fabric of society by supporting innovators like David and Moses we invest in a future where every individual regardless of economic status or geographical location has the opportunity to live a life full of potential and dignity let's celebrate their achievements but more importantly let's commit to the ongoing Journey let's ensure that their biorobotic arm and the many other ideas still in their minds find their way into the hands of those who need them most this isn't just just about turning disabilities
into abilities it's about fostering an environment where Innovation can Thrive where every challenge is seen as an opportunity to innovate and where the world is a little more inclusive because of the efforts of two innovators from a small community in Kenya together we can dream bigger achieve more and redefine what's possible in the world of assistive technology
