Being halfway through the second video now, that arm is about as useful as a powerglove.
It might look cool, but it seems to be heavy and unresponsive and not very well designed in the first place.
It seems like they placed way too much emphasis on this thing looking cool (this being a marketing thing and all) rather than make sure that it actually improves his quality of life. They gave the poor kid hope, only to deliver something that is more like a toy than actual robotics.
This is more of a #Fuckonami story than a good guy Konami one if you ask me.
EDIT: btw. the kid has a gofundme page to be able to afford actual titanium implants that connect to his bone and would offer him much more possibility, of mobility and actual arm- and leg-like funktions.
