Kiambu Form 4 dropouts develop functional robotic prosthetics

David Gathu and Moses Kiuna’s enthusiasm in robotics and urge to solve problems afflicting people around them have led into robotic prosthesis control field.
The two have achieved a feat only attainable by professional robotic engineers.
They have developed functional robotic prosthetics to help persons living with disabilities lead a normal life. Interestingly, the duo are high school dropouts.

[@chrisogonas]

These brothers are amazing. They just need funding and partnership to take this to another level and transform it into a great commercial venture. Kudos, folks!

[@djkakomusic]

It's because school programs you to think in a certain way desired by a specific system of governance and that kills creativity.

[@zuripenda]

@@djkakomusic Quite true, and after formal school, you must go learn again if you want to be your own employer, put your natural born talents to use and be who and what you are really here for. So much talent is wasted and never put into producing good for communities, nations, the world and the greatest part simply goes to the grave. I am saying, I am extremely proud of David and Moses. 🇹🇹👍🏾

[@WolfHeathen]

Calling this an innovation at this point in time is like calling the bullet train that's 30 years old an innovation in public transport. Check out Hugh Herr and the MIT Media Lab's Biomechatronics group and compare this video to those prosthetics. They're generations apart.
