Strong, robust and feature-rich, the team at COVVI have developed a highly functional myoelectric hand that establishes a new level of quality and performance by utilising premium materials and cutting-edge design. By focusing the design of the COVVI Hand are the lives of our users, our ground-breaking device is ready to meet the demands of everyday life.
We have designed our technology around the necessity of functionality and accessibility, with a focus on user-oriented design. The COVVI Hand boasts incredible robustness and versatility to match what’s required for everyday use, all of which is backed by software that provides an unrivalled user experience with a powerful level of customisable refinement.
In order to achieve this, we have ensured our designs are world-leading in their capability, are personalisable to every user, and can withstand the strength and speed pressures required of a hand for everyday life. Our users are at the heart of everything we do, which is why we are passionate about delivering a first-class customer experience wherever we can. We aim to create a myoelectric multi-articulating device that is the preferred choice for upper limb prosthetic users around the world. We have already been recognised for our work with multiple international awards, and we are honoured to continue to work and help to make a real positive change in the lives of those with upper limb loss.

I love the more bionic/cyberpunk look of prosthetics, so cool! The "realistic" prosthetics were just always too fake.

[@grahamt5924]

I find the ones that try to look real, creapy.

[@mnomadvfx]

@@grahamt5924 That's called the Uncanny Valley effect. Close to real, but not close enough to fool you.

[@grahamt5924]

@Mountain Nomad VFX Pretending to be real but failing badly only reminds the viewer what is lost, but on the other side, making a mechanical hand makes the viewer only think about the possibilities.

[@pajodato5339]

@@grahamt5924 Yeah, if the would have tried this "robot aestetic" and function, insted of the weird plastic manniquin look, It would have been easier for amputees.

[@justice8718]

[@claudiodiaz9752]

Imagine the improvement in the quality of life this brings to a person who lost both hands.

[@AssailantLF]

This stuff is sci-fi made real. The next generation of tech seems to be able to incorporate nerves into the tech so there's an actual sensation of touch, which is absolutely mind blowing.

[@deddrz2549]

Over the years I just see a bunch of impressive but similar bionic arms, I just wish the companies would show the Ms of input to output delay on the hands, to see if we are improving in terms of responsiveness over the years. In terms of Usefulness this is already good, but I want the tech to improve enough that both tracking tech in the real world and virtual worlds will be able to give people the experience of having hands againm

[@COVVILtd]

We completely agree! It's tricky to state what the delay for achieving a grip is, as it varies from person to person and even between different grips. For our hand, it's around 0.5 seconds, but some grips are even quicker than that. When the user is setting up their hand in our app, they can also adjust the sensitivity of different signals to fine-tune how the hand receives inputs from their residual limb in real time. Prosthetic technology is definitely progressing and we're always pushing to be at the forefront of the industry. 🦾

[@INagletz_]

i was wanted to say the same, but i think Musk's Neuralink tech can come in handy here... i dont see any other options, its almost 2027 dammit, where's our Sarif Industries?

[@mnomadvfx]

It's not just the thought to motion latency, but also the sharpness of control and feedback of contact. The technologies for both are getting there, but will probably take years longer to perfect and commercialise.

[@mnomadvfx]

@@INagletz_ I don't trust the average pharma or medical device company to put one of those neuralink things in me, but I trust Musk even less than that.

Super stoked to see more research going into prosthetics. Dude when he went to grab that gas cap I expected his whole hand to just rotate and twist it off. That would have been so gnarly

[@CarlosAlejandro.-ke6gr]

I think these can rotate freely. I have seen several videos of the brand

[@mykal2803]

Wild how far we're coming, can't wait to see what's in store for the next 20 years as things continue to advance. Imagine a nueralink type capability, with the advanced robotics instore. I could see a time in the not so distant future people choosing robotic prosthetics over there actual limbs. Maybe its a bit to sci-fi but I dont think its outside the realm of possibility in our lifetime.

[@cafolaadee5920]

You could have an arm collection that you can swap every day just like a watch collection. An arm for every occasion. One arm that’s designed for a the gym, one with guns on it because why not and more

not exactly like human ones. better, imagine being able to twist your hand in a full 360, or crush bones, thatd be sick asf lmao

[@lesedigaogane316]

[@0700083edu]

I think that in terms of human-machine integration it will still take us many years to reach a good functioning of a robotic hand. Because we don't even have a solid theoretical basis in neuroscience that allows this. We don't know how to decode nerve impulses, for example. But with Artificial Intelligence, we could at least have a hand with "self-awareness" and if it could talk and play music that would be cool too.

[@metalsonic4.1therobothedge24]

Considering how much its advanced now Its only a matter of Time It would definitively be faster if they were allowed to work more on humans in more free ways
