According to the 2001 Indian census, approximately 21 million individuals with disabilities were documented, representing 2.1% of the population. Machine learning advances are enabling the creation of sophisticated bionic prosthetics and artificial limbs. Through robotics engineering and VR research, physicians can now ensure better prosthetic fitting, allowing people with physical disabilities greater mobility and more natural movement.
Many individuals struggle with everyday tasks such as eating, grooming, and mobility. Next-generation technologies — including learning applications, sign language software, autism-friendly platforms, and digital media — can support people with various disabilities. Within the coming decade, developers may create hybrid devices combining multiple functions to assist persons with disabilities through a single integrated tool.
