To make sure that the end product would actually work, they put the tool to the test with a game of catch. The game was something that Sergio wasn't able to do one-handed. And with the robotic hand, Sergio could catch the ball.

We go to bed when we' re tired. However, we sometimes wake up feeling tired even though we' ve slept for ten hours. In fact, rest is much more than our nightly hours of shut-eye.Many of us are missing out on the other kinds of rest that we badly need.
The first kind of rest is physical rest. It can be passive (被动的) or active. Passive physical rest refers to sleeping, while active physical rest includes activities like yoga. These activities help your body relax.
Have you ever heard your parents or anyone else say that they have a hard time focusing on (集中注意力于) their work Have they ever said that when they lie down at night to sleep, they have trouble“turning off” their brains as conversations from the day fill their thoughts These people need mental (精神的) rest. You can-advise them to take a short break every two hours throughout their workday. These breaks remind them to slow down a bit.
The third kind is sensory (感官的) rest. Bright lights, computer screens and background noise can make our senses feel tired. But this is easy to deal with. You can close your eyes for a minute in the middle of the day or put away your electronics for a while.
Allowing yourself to enjoy the beauty of nature — just in a local park ——provides you with this kind of rest. You can also put your favorite artwork on your desk.Enjoying art is another great way to help you feel relaxed and think in new ways.
The last kind of rest is social rest. Spend some time with your family or friends. Try to open up to them and share the hard things that have been bothering you lately.
Now you know that getting enough sleep is only part of feeling truly rested. Think about what you enjoy and how your body and mind feel throughout the day. Remember, taking care of yourself is important, and getting the right kind of rest is a big part of that.
