EMEA relevanceSan Antonio-based Alt-Bionics shows how affordable prosthetics expertise converts into robot end-effectors: its Surge Hand is being evaluated by NVIDIA, Boston Dynamics, Apptronik and Skild. For European humanoid and cobot makers, dexterous hands remain a critical import, and a supply-chain gap to close.
