Title: Human-Sized power arm
The purpose of the power arm is to enable human to work more efficiently with the support of the hand. In many case people who attend war might end up in horrible lost of their hand. The power arm will be programmed to function with
respect to the tool that is attached to it. Nowadays in the military we need people who are skills with weapons. however soldier who been to war are missing part of their body. It will be more efficient to work with a power arm. The power arm enables injured soldiers to work on daily activities without having supports by others.
The power arm itself will be attached to human shoulders, in which it provides assistance on different tasks. The power arm will be programmed to function as a human arm so that soldiers don’t have to suffer from injuries and don’t have to rely on supports from their family members.
The idea of the arm was originated from a Japanese animation named Brave Command Dagwon.
