Trying a prosthetic hand for the first time can be a powerful and emotional experience. For many, it’s not just about testing technology — it’s about seeing what life could feel like again with movement, grip, and control. But one common question we hear from users before their first visit is this: what actually happens during a demo?
If you’ve booked a Grippy™ Bionic Hand demo with RoboBionics or are planning to, this guide will walk you through everything you’ll experience — step by step. You’ll learn what happens before, during, and after your session, what you’ll get to try, and how to make the most of it.
At RoboBionics, we believe every demo should feel welcoming, informative, and deeply personal. Our goal isn’t just to show you what the Grippy™ can do, but to help you feel welcoming, informative, and deeply personal. Our goal isn’t just to show you what the Grippy™ can do, but to help you feel what it’s like to move, grasp, and live with it — even if only for a short while.
Getting Started: What Happens Before Your Demo
Booking Your Appointment
Your Grippy™ demo journey begins the moment you book your session. You can do this easily online through the RoboBionics website. Once you select a convenient date, a member of our team gets in touch to confirm your slot and answer any initial questions.
We’ll ask a few simple things — such as which hand you’re exploring, whether you’ve used any prosthetic before, and if your limb has healed completely. This helps us personalize your session. Every demo is one-on-one, giving you time to move at your pace.
Before the appointment, you’ll receive a short checklist to help you prepare — such as wearing a comfortable shirt and bringing any previous prosthesis or medical records. It’s not formal paperwork; it’s just to help us serve you better.
Your Welcome and Initial Assessment
When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by our prosthetic expert and given a quick orientation. You’ll see the demo area, meet your fitting specialist, and take a moment to relax before the session begins.
The first step is a gentle assessment. We check your residual limb — its shape, length, and muscle strength. This isn’t invasive or uncomfortable. It’s simply a way to understand your anatomy so that the demo feels accurate and comfortable.
This also helps us determine which socket and sensors will be used for your trial. If needed, we’ll take light measurements to ensure everything fits properly during your test.
Understanding the Technology
Before you try the Grippy™ Bionic Hand yourself, we give you a short explanation of how it works — in simple, clear language.
You’ll see how myoelectric sensors pick up tiny electrical signals from your muscles, turning them into natural hand movements. We’ll show you how these signals allow you to open, close, and control the bionic fingers with precision.
Our goal is not to impress you with technical jargon, but to make you understand what’s happening beneath the surface — so you feel in control.
You’ll also learn about Sense of Touch™ technology — a patent-pending feature unique to RoboBionics that lets users feel pressure while holding objects. This technology makes the Grippy™ special because it mimics how a natural hand senses grip force.
Getting to Know the Device
Next, you’ll be introduced to the Grippy™ Bionic Hand itself. You can hold it, touch it, and explore its movement range. You’ll notice its lightweight design, smooth grip, and clean finish.
We’ll explain each component briefly — from the fingers to the wrist, socket, and sensors. You’ll also get to see the battery setup and how easy it is to charge and maintain.
For many people, this is the moment the prosthesis stops feeling like a machine and starts feeling like a partner.
Setting Expectations Before the Trial
Before beginning the actual demo, we’ll discuss what you’ll be able to do during the session. You won’t walk away mastering every function — that takes time and training — but you’ll understand the basics of control and grip.
We’ll show you what to focus on: comfort, reaction speed, and how naturally it responds to your movement.
This part of the session helps calm any nerves and prepares you mentally for the hands-on trial. We want you to enjoy the experience, not worry about performance.
The Demo Experience: Trying the Grippy™ for the First Time
Fitting the Demo Socket
Once everything’s ready, your prosthetist will gently fit the demo socket over your residual limb. The socket is adjustable and padded to ensure comfort.
You’ll feel light pressure as it secures in place. Then, the myoelectric sensors are attached to detect your muscle signals. These are usually placed over two key muscle points that control open and close actions.
At this point, you’ll start to see your own movements come to life through the prosthetic. Even the smallest muscle contractions make the fingers move — a thrilling first glimpse of control.
Learning to Control the Movements
In the beginning, your prosthetist will guide you slowly through basic exercises. You’ll flex your muscles gently to open and close the hand.
The sensors read your muscle activity, and within seconds, the Grippy™ responds — opening, closing, and gripping just like a natural hand.
For many people, this is an emotional moment. Seeing the prosthesis move in response to your own thoughts brings back a sense of connection that many haven’t felt in years.
Don’t worry if it takes a few tries to get right. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s discovery. You’re learning how your body communicates with technology.
Trying Everyday Actions
Once you’re comfortable, you’ll start practicing simple daily actions. We’ll place light objects like a water bottle, pen, or ball in front of you. You’ll pick them up, hold them, and release them using your muscle signals.
You’ll notice how smoothly the Grippy™ adjusts grip pressure — tight enough to hold, gentle enough not to crush. That’s the power of Sense of Touch™.
You can also try different grip patterns, like a pinch grip for smaller items or a cylindrical grip for bottles. These movements mirror real-life scenarios, giving you a feel for how intuitive control can be.
Observing the Hand in Motion
During the demo, you’ll see how naturally the fingers move together — each joint bending with precision. The motion is fluid and lifelike, without robotic stiffness.
You can even rotate the wrist to understand how multi-directional movement works. If you’re trying the Grippy™ for a below-elbow amputation, this rotation adds incredible flexibility to everyday tasks.
Our prosthetist will demonstrate how the Grippy™ can switch between movement modes — for example, from a firm grip to a delicate touch — all through muscle control.
Discussing the Feel and Fit
After the trial, we’ll talk about how the prosthesis felt. Was the socket comfortable? Was the grip natural? Did it feel light or heavy?
Your feedback is essential. Every person’s body and muscle response are unique, so we take detailed notes to adjust the fit, socket shape, and sensitivity if you decide to move forward with a personalized model.
We’ll also help you understand how training and physiotherapy after fitting can make control even smoother. What you try in the demo is only the beginning — your precision improves rapidly once you start using your own fitted prosthesis.
The Emotional Moment
Almost everyone who tries the Grippy™ for the first time shares the same reaction — awe mixed with relief. It’s often quiet at first, followed by a smile or tears. It’s not just about movement; it’s about reconnecting with a part of yourself.
This emotional release is perfectly natural. The demo isn’t a sales experience — it’s a human experience. Our team understands that, and we always give you time to process, ask questions, or just sit with the moment.
Many users tell us it’s the first time in years they’ve felt whole again.
After the Demo: What Happens Next
Talking Through Your Experience
Once you finish your demo session, you’ll sit down with your prosthetist for a relaxed, open discussion. This is not a formal consultation — it’s simply a conversation about how you felt during the trial.
We’ll ask questions like:
Did the hand feel natural?
Was it comfortable to wear?
How did you feel about the grip strength and response?
Your answers guide our understanding of what matters most to you — whether it’s smooth motion, lightness, or precise control.
Some people feel immediate excitement to move forward, while others prefer to take a few days to reflect. Both are completely fine. We want your decision to feel confident and calm, not rushed.
Understanding Your Options
Based on your demo, your prosthetist will explain what kind of Grippy™ model best suits your needs. There are different configurations depending on your daily lifestyle, work, and activity level.
For example, if you’re looking for a balance between everyday use and professional tasks, the standard Grippy™ Bionic Hand is perfect. It’s powerful, elegant, and simple to control.
If your needs are more mechanical — perhaps you prefer a non-electronic option for specific reasons — the Grippy™ Mech Hand might be suggested instead.
We’ll also discuss socket customization, hand size, and skin-tone finishes. Everything is personalized, because your prosthesis should feel uniquely yours.
The Pricing Breakdown
After the demo, you’ll receive a clear, itemized quotation. At RoboBionics, transparency is non-negotiable. We explain the cost of every part — the hand, socket, sensors, fitting, and training — so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Most bionic prostheses in India are imported and cost ₹10–₹15 lakh. But the Grippy™ Bionic Hand is made right here in India, with 60 of its 64 components locally manufactured. That’s why our price ranges between ₹2.15 and ₹3 lakh — almost one-fifth of international models.
We’ve built the Grippy™ to match world-class standards without the world-class price tag. It’s a revolution in accessibility, not a compromise on quality.
EMI and Financing Options
We understand that a prosthesis is a major investment, even when it’s affordable. That’s why we’ve partnered with trusted financial institutions to offer easy EMI plans.
You can spread your payments comfortably across several months. We’ll explain your EMI eligibility, documentation, and approval timeline right at the clinic. The entire process is simple and stress-free.
This means you can start your prosthetic journey immediately without waiting for full payment. You focus on your rehabilitation; we take care of the financial flexibility.
What Customization Looks Like
If you decide to move forward, your customization process begins right away. The next step is to take detailed digital measurements of your residual limb.
Our technicians use 3D scanning or precision molding to capture every contour. This ensures your socket fits perfectly — snug enough for stability but gentle enough for comfort.
We’ll also let you choose your preferred color finish, sleeve material, and aesthetic details. Some women prefer slim, skin-tone finishes that blend naturally. Others choose a bold metallic design that stands out proudly.
Customization isn’t about looks alone — it’s about identity. Your prosthesis should feel like you.
The Fitting Timeline
Once your order is confirmed, production begins. Manufacturing and final assembly typically take six to eight weeks, depending on complexity.
During that time, we’ll keep you updated through regular messages or calls. You’ll know when your socket is being fabricated, when sensors are being calibrated, and when your prosthesis is ready for final fitting.
You’re never left guessing. Transparency is part of the RoboBionics promise.
The Follow-Up Fitting
When your customized Grippy™ arrives, you’ll come back for your final fitting session. This is where precision meets personalization.
Your prosthetist will make sure the socket fits comfortably and that the sensors respond perfectly to your muscle signals. We’ll then help you practice real-world activities — gripping, holding, writing, or even typing.
The difference between the demo and your final prosthesis is like trying a sample car and then driving your own. It feels smoother, sharper, and completely yours.
Once you’re satisfied, we’ll move into training and aftercare — ensuring your new hand becomes part of your daily life effortlessly.
Inside the Grippy™: Understanding What You Tried
The Myoelectric System
During the demo, you experienced the power of myoelectric technology — the science that makes the Grippy™ come alive.
This system detects small electric signals from your muscles when you contract them. These signals travel to a microprocessor that translates them into precise finger movements.
The entire process happens in milliseconds. It feels like your thoughts are directly controlling the hand — because, in a way, they are.
Sense of Touch™: The Secret Behind Precision
One of the most remarkable things you’ll experience during the demo is the Sense of Touch™ feedback. It’s a patent-pending technology unique to RoboBionics.
As you grip an object, sensors in the fingers measure the amount of pressure being applied. The system adjusts automatically, tightening or loosening to keep your hold natural.
This means you can pick up a paper cup without crushing it or hold a heavy mug without dropping it. You feel in control, not cautious.
Battery and Control System
During the session, you’ll also see how the hand operates on a small, rechargeable battery. A full charge usually lasts a full day of active use.
We’ll show you how to charge it safely, check battery levels, and optimize performance. You’ll notice that the design hides the battery neatly, maintaining a sleek and minimal look.
Unlike older prosthetics, there are no clunky wires or bulky attachments. Everything is compact, intuitive, and built for comfort.
Safety and Maintenance
We always walk you through the do’s and don’ts of using a bionic prosthesis. The Grippy™ is durable, but like any advanced device, it performs best with care.
You’ll learn simple maintenance routines — how to clean the socket, avoid water exposure, and keep the sensors in good condition.
All these steps take only a few minutes a day, but they ensure years of flawless function.
Durability and Local Support
Because the Grippy™ is made in India, every component and spare part is locally available. That means servicing is quick and affordable — no waiting months for imported replacements.
The body shell is built from high-strength composite materials tested to withstand daily wear and tear. Whether you’re working at a desk, cooking, or driving, it keeps up effortlessly.
And if you ever need help, our technical support team is always a phone call away.
The Human Side of the Demo
Seeing Possibility for the First Time
For many users, the Grippy™ demo is their first real glimpse into what’s possible again. After months or years of adjusting to limb loss, feeling movement return — even for a few minutes — can be life-changing.
You’ll see how it feels to lift a cup, open your palm, or grasp a small object without effort. These simple actions, once lost, return with astonishing naturalness.
Every demo is different because every user’s story is different. Some smile quietly; others laugh or cry. What they all share is that spark — the realization that life with movement is not behind them, but ahead.
Building Trust with Technology
We understand that technology can sometimes feel intimidating. That’s why our team focuses on building trust first.
You’ll never be pressured or rushed during the session. We take the time to explain, adjust, and let you practice until you feel at ease.
The Grippy™ is designed to respond to you — not the other way around. That’s what makes it intuitive, especially for first-time users.
Your Comfort Comes First
Everything about the demo — from the temperature of the room to the socket padding — is designed for your comfort.
If at any point you feel tired or emotional, we pause. This session is about you, not the device. Our experts are trained to support not just the technical side of prosthetics, but the emotional side too.
For many people, the demo is the first time they’ve touched a prosthesis since amputation. We understand what that moment represents.
Training and Adaptation After the Demo
Learning the Movements Naturally
Once you’ve experienced your Grippy™ demo and chosen to move forward, the next step is learning how to use it naturally. Training begins the day you receive your personalized prosthesis and continues for the first few weeks of regular use.
Your prosthetist and physiotherapist work together to teach you how to control your hand with ease. In the beginning, the focus is on small, simple movements. You’ll learn to open, close, and adjust grip force using your natural muscle signals.
Each session helps you build muscle memory. As your brain learns to communicate with your new hand, movements become faster and more accurate. Within weeks, you’ll be doing everyday tasks — like holding a spoon, typing, or picking up delicate items — without having to think about it.
Personalized Training Plans
Every person’s learning curve is different. That’s why your training plan is designed specifically for you. If your daily life involves typing, we’ll focus on finer hand control. If you need more grip power for tools or cooking, we’ll practice grip precision.
The goal isn’t to make you perform generic exercises but to help you do the things that matter most to you.
We also include rest days to prevent fatigue. Training shouldn’t be exhausting — it should feel empowering. Each step builds your strength and confidence without strain.
The Role of Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy plays a huge role in successful prosthetic use. It keeps your residual limb healthy, strengthens supporting muscles, and improves posture.
Your physiotherapist will guide you through gentle stretching, resistance, and balance exercises. These sessions prepare your body to carry the prosthesis comfortably throughout the day.
For upper-limb users, shoulder and back exercises help maintain alignment. For lower-limb users using other RoboBionics devices, gait training ensures smooth walking and natural balance.
When your body feels strong, your prosthesis feels effortless.
Adapting to Daily Routines
After your initial training, you’ll start incorporating your prosthesis into real-life activities. This is where transformation happens — the moment the device becomes part of your routine.
You’ll learn how to handle simple chores, work tasks, and personal grooming independently. Small victories, like buttoning a shirt or holding a glass steadily, build momentum.
Each successful action strengthens your relationship with your prosthesis. Over time, you stop thinking about “using it” and simply start living with it.
How the Gamified Rehabilitation App Helps
To make rehabilitation fun and motivating, RoboBionics offers a gamified rehabilitation app. It’s a digital tool that connects with your bionic hand and turns training into interactive games.
Instead of repetitive exercises, you’ll complete challenges that respond to your muscle movements. This keeps you engaged while improving control accuracy and reaction speed.
It’s proof that prosthetic learning doesn’t have to be clinical — it can be enjoyable and deeply rewarding.
Emotional Growth and Confidence Building
Rediscovering Control
Using a prosthesis is as much about regaining confidence as it is about regaining function. The first time you see your bionic hand responding to your thoughts, it feels like reclaiming something you once lost.
That sense of control changes everything. You stop hesitating to try new things. You begin to trust your body again. For many users, that emotional reconnection is even more powerful than the physical one.
Confidence doesn’t arrive all at once — it builds quietly, through daily actions. Every cup lifted, every door opened, every handshake strengthens it.
Overcoming Early Hesitations
It’s completely normal to feel nervous or uncertain in the early stages. Some people worry about dropping objects, while others feel self-conscious about wearing a prosthesis in public.
Our advice? Give yourself time. Every user you’ve seen moving confidently today once felt the same way.
The key is consistency. The more you use your Grippy™, the more naturally it becomes part of your rhythm. Confidence is simply comfort practiced over time.
Emotional Support from Our Team
At RoboBionics, we believe emotional care is just as important as technical support. Our team has guided hundreds of users through the adjustment period, and we know every journey looks different.
If you ever feel discouraged, we’re here to listen. We can connect you with support groups, peer mentors, or even other women and men who’ve successfully adapted to their Grippy™.
Hearing someone else’s story often helps you see your own potential more clearly. You’re not alone in this — you’re part of a growing community of people redefining independence.
How Family Plays a Role
Family support makes adaptation easier. When loved ones understand how the prosthesis works, they become active partners in your progress.
We encourage family members to attend a few early sessions so they can learn how to assist and cheer you on. Their patience and encouragement can make all the difference.
The best part? As they see your confidence grow, their admiration often turns into deep pride. It’s not just your journey — it becomes theirs too.
Celebrating the First Milestones
We always remind users to celebrate their progress, no matter how small. Your first successful grip, your first full day of use, your first outing — these are achievements worth acknowledging.
Each milestone builds momentum and reinforces your belief in what’s possible. In time, you’ll look back and realize how far you’ve come — from trying your first demo to living freely again.
Follow-Up Care and Long-Term Support
The Importance of Follow-Ups
Your prosthetic journey doesn’t end after fitting. Follow-ups are essential to ensure your Grippy™ continues performing perfectly.
We schedule your first check-up within three weeks of delivery. This visit focuses on alignment, comfort, and signal calibration. If your limb shape changes slightly, we make small adjustments to maintain a perfect fit.
After that, regular follow-ups every few months keep your prosthesis in top form.
Maintenance and Servicing
Because the Grippy™ is built locally, maintenance is simple and quick. If you ever need repairs or part replacements, our technicians handle it efficiently without long waiting times.
We recommend routine cleaning and gentle handling to extend its lifespan. Your prosthetist will teach you exactly how to clean the socket, check connections, and care for the sensors.
With basic care, your Grippy™ can last for years while performing like new.
Warranty and Support Coverage
Every Grippy™ Bionic Hand comes with a comprehensive warranty. It covers manufacturing defects, motor issues, and component replacements during the covered period.
Even after your warranty expires, you’ll continue receiving affordable service options. Since 60 of its 64 parts are made in India, spare availability is never a problem.
We also provide round-the-clock customer support for any queries — from technical concerns to training questions.
Remote and On-Site Assistance
If you live far from one of our centers, you don’t have to worry. We offer remote consultations via video call for simple troubleshooting or recalibration guidance.
For more complex adjustments, we coordinate with our partner prosthetic clinics across India. You’ll always have access to expert help close to where you live.
Our goal is to ensure you never feel stranded — your journey is our ongoing responsibility.
Continuous Upgrades
Technology evolves, and so can your prosthesis. When we introduce new upgrades or enhancements to the Grippy™ line, existing users can easily opt for modular upgrades instead of replacing the entire device.
Whether it’s a lighter shell, a faster response chip, or improved battery life, we’ll always keep you informed. Progress shouldn’t stop at delivery — it should keep moving with you.
Real Stories, Real Impact
Stories That Inspire
Every person who walks into a RoboBionics demo center carries a story — a story of courage, loss, and determination. When they try the Grippy™ Bionic Hand for the first time, that story begins a new chapter.
We’ve met young students who thought they would never draw again, engineers who missed the feel of holding their tools, and mothers who just wanted to lift their children with both arms. The moment they experience control again, the emotions in the room are indescribable.
One user, a 26-year-old from Pune, described her demo as “feeling like time rewound.” Another said it was the first time he’d felt equal again — able to do something without asking for help. These are not rehearsed testimonials; they’re honest, heartfelt reactions from real people rediscovering independence.
Community and Support
RoboBionics believes empowerment grows stronger when shared. That’s why we actively connect users with others who have completed their prosthetic journey. These peer interactions are powerful — users swap stories, offer encouragement, and share practical advice.
We also organize community events and workshops across India. They bring together prosthesis users, doctors, and engineers to discuss innovations, challenges, and everyday solutions. Many who attend say it feels like joining a family that understands them without words.
Each new user adds another voice to this growing community — a reminder that technology, compassion, and courage together can change lives.
The Ripple Effect
The Grippy™ Bionic Hand isn’t just changing individuals’ lives; it’s creating ripples that touch families, workplaces, and communities.
Parents feel relieved seeing their children regain confidence. Employers are amazed at how quickly users return to work. Friends and colleagues see independence instead of limitation.
One small device becomes a bridge between what someone was and what they can be again. That’s the deeper purpose of every demo — to show what’s possible, not someday, but right now.
Preparing for Your Own Demo
Setting the Right Expectations
When you come for your demo, come curious, not anxious. You don’t have to know anything about prosthetics — that’s our job. All you need is an open mind and the willingness to try.
Wear comfortable clothes, preferably short sleeves if you’re testing an arm prosthesis. Bring any medical reports or photos of your residual limb if available. Most importantly, bring your questions.
This session is designed for you — your comfort, your pace, and your understanding.
During the Demo
When the fitting starts, relax your shoulders and focus on your prosthetist’s instructions. You’ll feel gentle pressure from the socket and electrodes; this is normal. When you flex your muscles and see the fingers move, take your time to observe how the hand responds.
There’s no right or wrong movement — the demo is about exploration. We’ll help you try daily actions like grasping, holding, and releasing. You’ll see how intuitive the control becomes once you tune into your body’s signals.
If anything feels uncomfortable, tell us immediately. Adjustments are quick, and your feedback helps us tailor the experience perfectly.
After the Demo
Take a few moments afterward to reflect. How did it feel? Did the motion surprise you? Did it make you feel hopeful or curious?
These emotions matter. They guide your decision on whether you want to move forward. If you’re ready, we’ll discuss customization, timelines, and training. If not, that’s perfectly fine — the experience itself is valuable.
We often find that even people who hesitate at first return weeks later with renewed confidence. The demo plants a seed of possibility, and once it’s there, it grows quietly until you’re ready to take that next step.
