Discover the intelligent bionic hand unveiled at World Health Expo 2026, using brain signals and voice control for natural prosthetic movements. Learn how it aids upper limb amputees.
At the World Health Expo 2026 in China, a new neurotechnology development was unveiled—an intelligent bionic hand controlled by brain signals. Created by Zhonghua Brain-Computer, the device targets individuals with upper limb amputations.
The prosthesis features a dual-control system that combines neuromuscular signals with voice commands. Users can perform actions literally through thought, with the option to switch to voice control as needed. The technology rapidly recognizes intentions and translates them into prosthetic movements.
Developers claim the bionic hand can handle everyday tasks, from holding objects to writing. Equipped with sensors and algorithms, it adjusts grip strength and adapts to various usage scenarios, making control more natural.
Special attention has been paid to aesthetics and tactile feel. The prosthetic is covered with artificial skin that closely mimics human texture and appearance, enhancing discretion and user comfort.
Zhonghua Brain-Computer, founded in 2021, is actively advancing neurointerface technologies. Its portfolio already includes solutions with tens of thousands of brain communication channels and various interface types, from implantable to minimally invasive. According to the developers, their technologies surpass existing counterparts in several aspects.
