Canadian Start-up smartARM Uses AI to Create Intuitive Bionic Prosthetics

Meta highlighted smartARM, a Toronto-based startup developing a vision-first bionic arm prototype that uses Meta's open-source vision model DINOv2 to recognize everyday objects and automatically select grips, with Meta AI Glasses as an optional add-on.

The arm can adapt to objects trained on just a few photos, and long-time user Shaquem Griffin said scalability and accessibility matter most to him.
