STQARRIJA MIS-SEGRETARJAT PARLAMENTARI GĦAŻ-ŻGĦAŻAGĦ, IR-RIĊERKA U L-INNOVAZZJONI Prosteżi tal-idejn irħas, eħfef u aktar effiċjenti

Ir-riżultati tal-proġett MAProHand flimkien ma’ prototip ġew ippreżentati waqt konferenza fl-Esplora, li għaliha attenda s-Segretarju Parlamentari għaż-Żgħażagħ, ir-Riċerka u l-Innovazzjoni Keith Azzopardi Tanti. ​​

Permezz tal-proġett MAProHand (Minimal Anthropomorphic Prosthetic Hand) ġie żviluppat qafas mekkaniku għal id prostetika li tixbaħ l-id umana. Tliet dipartimenti mill-Università ta’ Malta kkollaboraw flimkien f’dan il-proġett: id-Dipartiment tal-Inġinerija Mekkanika; id-Dipartiment tas-Sistemi u l-Inġinerija; u d-Dipartiment tal-Intelliġenza Artifiċjali li ssieħbu mal-Orthopaedic Centre Malta Ltd biex jiżviluppaw id prostetika għal skop kummerċjali.
