The robotic arm helps the person who loses his hand to play the drums

With many drummers, losing an arm can be considered as ending a career. However, for Jason Barnes it is not.

With many drummers, losing an arm can be considered as ending a career. However, for Jason Barnes it is not. Professor Gil Weinberg of the University of Georgia has built a robotic arm that not only helps Barnes play the drums again, but also gives him the ability to hold a third, or in other words, 3 arms.

Through the prosthetic arm, Barnes can use his forearm muscles to manipulate a parachute, while the second prop tracts itself based on time synchronization at an arbitrary pace, allowing it to generate sounds that ordinary people do not play.

This robotic arm will be useful when playing metal and some types of music require complex drum motions. However, Weinberg also wants to use the technology in other areas - such as for astronauts or surgeons to perform complex robotic operations or operations. You can watch the short video that Barnes performed the ability to play the drums below.
