The new arm includes a sensor that detects muscle movement using artificial intelligence.

Mohamed Dehawafi, a 28-year-old Tunisian electrical and electronics engineer, met an eight-year-old boy in a Tunisian hospital, and the child lost a hand and one of his legs after being electrocuted.
Dehwave and his team have since started working on developing a Bionic arm, and the team founded a startup called Cure Bionics.
The team used 3D printing to develop a bionic arm that can be charged using solar energy.
The team provided the arm with an adjustable wrist to suit children whose bodies are constantly growing.
The child's muscles control the new bionic arm, eliminating the need for surgical intervention to stabilize it in the body.
Dehouafi designed his first experimental model, which is still under development, when he was at the National College of Engineering in Sousse, Tunisia.
Dehwave said that the cousin of one of his team members was born without a hand and her parents could not afford the cost of the prosthetic hand, especially with the need to change it constantly due to its growth.
