TOM 2023 Need Knower, Rigoberto holding a painting of himself gifted to him by the TOM team. Rigoberto used to be a police officer, but due to an explosion, he lost both hands. He does not struggle with everyday tasks, but wishes he could type on a computer with more facility. This is what his team decided to solve. Makers developed a non-electronic prosthetic that was lightweight and effortless to wear, allowing him to handle it with ease.
