Kenyan start-up makes robotic limbs to sign for deaf kids
A Kenyan start-up has built robotic hands programmed to form sign-language gestures, aimed at helping deaf children learn to sign. The limbs mirror hand and finger positions used in sign language, giving learners a physical model to copy. The team says the devices could widen access to sign education where trained instructors are scarce. Trials with schools are planned next.
