00:00When Alberto was a kid, his best friend promised to build him an arm.
00:04This is eReady, the bionic arm developed by Alberto's friend Jorge, together with researchers
00:10at the University of Guadalajara.
00:13eReady is meant to be easier to use than most prosthetics.
00:16It uses just one muscle sensor to control different movements.
00:20It's light, 3D printed, and all the motors are hidden inside.
00:24The hardest part isn't learning to move it.
00:27Yo siento que el mayor reto es la parte psicológica, la parte mental, la parte de adaptación,
00:33de pronto estar con la prótesis y luego tener que quitarmela porque ya me cansé o porque
00:40se va a cargar o lo que sea, ¿no?
00:42The scientists are working on more improvements.
00:45Actualmente nuestro dispositivo se controla a través de señales musculares y estamos a
00:50pocos pasos de poder integrar esta parte de los comandos de voz y la actividad muscular.
00:56Pero estamos ya muy cerca de poderlo lograr.
00:58The next step is regulatory approval before production can start.
