Comment on “Bionic Girl” Debuts New Wireless Hands That Even Work When Detached From the Main Prosthetic
pennomi@lemmy.world 2 days agoOne of the things that they keep saying is that this is the lightest bionic available, so it’s possible that physical ports are simply too heavy.

Batteries weigh more than ports though.

The hands have 360 rotation. It’s not impossible to make a reliable continuous rotation connector, but they aren’t as reliable and durable as you’d want in a daily use device.
Makes sense to save development costs on a funky connector. It also makes upgrades simpler later on since it’s a simpler connection.
