About this episode

The episode discusses the development of a durable, touch-sensing bionic hand through a decade of innovation in soft robotics and 3D printing.

We share how a decade of soft robotics, open APIs, and relentless iteration turned a 3D-printed prototype into a durable, touch-sensing bionic hand used by amputees and robots. Stories of failure, funding, and firsts reveal how speed, sensation, and design choices translate to real lives and real factories. • early 3D printing wins and durability limits • shift to soft robotics, silicone overmolding, carbon fiber reinforcement • founding spark, Ecuador trial, and move from academia to compan...
