A group of students in a summer program in India recently put their minds together to propose a new and improved design for prosthetics for patients who have lost their hands. The difficulty is that many prosthetic, or artificial, hands are hard to fit and move, as well as tiring to use. With robotics, the students in the program succeeded in creating a soft, flexible prosthetic hand that uses a hinged aluminum mechanism and is easier to operate. This innovation has the potential to improve thousands of lives around the world.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The text primarily uses the **problem and solution** organizational structure. It starts by identifying the problem with existing prosthetic hands (difficulties with fit, movement, and usability) and then presents the solution developed by the students (a new soft, flexible prosthetic hand using a hinged aluminum mechanism).
