# Dual-Handed Robotic Prosthetics The Youbionic Double Hand Increases Capabilities When Worn By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-11-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-hand References: [newatlas](https://newatlas.com/youbionic-double-hand/52341/) & [youbionic](http://www.youbionic.com/store/double-hand) The Youbionic Double Hand has been engineered to provide users with the ability to double their capabilities with a single hand to increase output when performing a variety of different tasks. The [robotic prosthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arm-rehabilitation-robot) has been designed with a two-handed aesthetic that could provide users with the ability to perform a number of different tasks without the need for decreased productivity. The hands are programmed to respond to the movements of the operator's index and third fingers, which activates six Actuonix actuators that are linked on each hand. The Youbionic Double Hand is powered by an [Arduino](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-robot-arm) microcontroller that can be programmed to your preferences to let you perform a number of different tasks or even add more flex sensors, as desired. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/robots) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Dual-handed Robotics:** Opportunity for robotics companies to develop more advanced dual-handed prosthetics that enhance human capabilities. - **Increased Productivity:** Opportunity for businesses to improve productivity by incorporating dual-handed robotic prosthetics in various industries. - **Customizable Prosthetics:** Opportunity for technology companies to develop customizable prosthetic solutions that cater to individual preferences and needs. ### Where This Applies - **Healthcare:** Opportunity for healthcare providers to incorporate dual-handed robotic prosthetics to enhance patient care and improve medical procedures. - **Manufacturing:** Opportunity for manufacturing companies to boost efficiency and productivity by implementing dual-handed robotic prosthetics on assembly lines. - **Rehabilitation:** Opportunity for rehabilitation centers to utilize dual-handed robotic prosthetics to assist in physical therapy and improve patient recovery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smart Bionic Hands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-bionic-hand.md) - [Robotic Hand Assistance Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bioservo-carbonhand.md) - [Lightweight Robotic Hand Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-hand1.md) - [Wearable Robotic Limb Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jizai-arms.md) - [Enhanced Thumb Prosthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/third-thumb.md) - [Dexterous Robotics Hands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharpawave.md) - [Four-Armed Surgical Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourarmed-surgical-robots.md) - [AI-Powered Prosthetic Arms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-prosthetic-arm.md) - [Mind-Controlled Artificial Arms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-prosthetic-arm.md)
