At CES 2016, Brainco, the parent company of BrainRobotics, was showing how their new headband was controlling their STEM kit, now named the Neuromaker, when an amputee came up to ask if it might be possible to control a real prosthetic hand. The planning began towards making it possible to do just that and later that year the first BrainRobotics prosthetic hand prototype is built.
BrainCo, a VIP team in the Harvard Innovation Lab, was also a Gold Winner at MassChallenge, one of the world’s largest accelerators.
