This technology emerged as a result of 4 years of research and £ 2 million of investment. While Tilly says that he feels ‘very strong’ with this new bionic technology, he also states that he feels like in a science fiction film.

Tilly had lost both hands due to meningitis as a baby. Now she has the world’s fastest and waterproof bionic arms. The Hero Pro and Hero RGD arm systems work twice as fast as other bionic arms and offer first-class features.
This arm system allows users to rotate and flex their wrists 360 degrees. Thanks to this technology, Tilly is now able to perform simple tasks that she was previously unable to do. For example, she can perform actions such as ‘pulling a suitcase and drinking hot chocolate’ at the same time.
Tilly also mentioned another exciting feature of these bionic arms: ‘I can take the arm off and put it back on the table, it’s controlled by wireless sensors and it’s such an impressive piece of technology that it’s hard to imagine it being real.’
The possibilities provided by the Hero Pro arms have changed Tilly’s life considerably. The young model emphasised that being able to use her hands while speaking or singing on stage offers great freedom.
Tilly says she feels like a superhero thanks to this technology. Open Bionics invested £2 million over four years to develop these advanced technologies. The company’s founders were honoured by Princess Anne last year for their innovative contributions to engineering and robotics.
