Topic:

Alt-Bionics - Current Technology, Challenges and Vision for the Future

In this presentaon I would speak about our innovave approach to creating affordable and advanced bionic
hands for amputees. I'll take you through our journey from the initial idea to our current successes, including our
recent collaboraon with Apptronik and our venture into the realm of humanoid robots. The goal for the
presentation is for attendees to gain insights into the technology that powers our products, the challenges we've
faced in the bionics industry, and our vision for the future of prosthecs and humanoid robocs.

Biography:

Ryan Saavedra, 28, founded Alt-Bionics to create affordable bionic prosthetics for amputees. The idea originated from a school project at The University of Texas at San Antonio, where he and his classmates built a roboc prosthetic hand for under $700. After meeting Ryan Davis,
an Army Ranger who lost his arm, Saavedra was inspired to bring this life-changing technology to the world.  Since founding Alt-Bionics, he has dedicated the past three years to developing accessible and advanced bionic prosthetic devices."
