Quick exercise: untie the shoelace of your right shoe. Alright, now try to tie them again using only one(!) hand. Dont cheat, just try it. Did you succeed? This is one of the many things which makes life harder for people with only one arm/hand. A shoelace-proof prosthetic arm can be complex, and therefore heavy... so how do we make one that is lightweight? Gerwin Smit, a PhD fellow at the TU Delft, can provide the answer to that specific question.
