Here is the deep dark secret that most prosthetics companies wont tell you: Making an affordable robotic prosthetic isnt actually that difficult. The problem isn't technology (literally anyone can 3d print a prosthetic. It's not hard), the problem isn't affordability (or everyone would have cheap Chinese prosthetics already). Its distribution and maintenance at scale. The disabled don't need the latest and greatest tech. They need something that just WORKS, for them, right now, and that they can take care of themselves. Vulcans CEO grew up next to the biggest disabled college in the UK. Most of his teenage friends were in wheelchairs and led full, amazing lives. And the technology to do this was not that complex. A couple of motors, some wheels, and a joystick.
