Mission

Limbitless Solutions Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals through personalized, creative, and expressive bionics. Limbitless Solutions Inc. was dissolved and decertified as a direct support organization of the University of Central Florida, effective June 30, 2023. Its operations will continue under the University's Research Enterprise.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To support UCF in electronic advancements in disability technology; promotion of access and engagement in STEM/STEAM education; and to work with third parties to support further related research. Limbitless Solutions Inc. was dissolved and decertified as a direct support organization of the University of Central Florida, effective June 30, 2023. Its operations will continue under the University's Research Enterprise.

  • DESIGN OF BIONIC ARMS FOR CHILDREN: Limbitless Solutions was established as a direct support organization of the University of Central Florida to research, design, create, and deliver mechanical and electronic advancements in disability technology, infusing engineering with artistic design. Limbitless creates personalized, creative, and expressive 3D-printed prosthetics for children with limb differences using electromyographic (EMG) technology. Limbitless works closely with each child and their families, combining art and engineering to make an arm personalized to them, so that each bionic arm created is a reflection of a bionic child's personality. For example, Limbitless collaborates with each child to customize the sleeve design of the child's bionic arm with the goal of reflecting the personalities and interests of each child. Through these expressive bionics, the organization hopes to empower confidence in each child wearing a bionic arm. To help bionic children adapt to their new prosthetic, Limbitless creates fun and immersive video games. The video games use the arm's EMG technology as a controller to help the children gain comfort and skill using their bionic device. Limbitless Solutions develops and distributes bionic solutions through clinical trial process, now collaborating/partnering with five hospitals nationally. Two second generation clinical trials began in May of 2023.

    Expenses $1,217,802 · Grants $845,525

  • DEVELOP AND IMPROVE TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN OF BIONIC ARMS: Implement an interchangeable sleeve design that allows the user to fully customize their bionic device. These artistic sleeves are selected and modified by the user to create a unique, personalized design. Programming and engineering upgrades has allowed for multi-gesture capabilities; giving the user expanded dexterity. Now the user can access multiple gestures (such as finger points, peace signs, thumbs up, etc.) by flexing their muscle.

    Expenses $68,502 · Grants $68,502

  • PROMOTE STEAM/STEM AND HOST EDUCATIONAL EVENTS: Host students for a day-long immersive STEAM experience. Students learn about combining science, technology, engineering, art, and math to create meaningful and artistic designs. Our team also travels across the country talking about 3D Hope and the power of young people getting involved in STEAM at an early age.

    Expenses $26,102

  • MAINTAIN A STUDENT SCHOLAR PROGRAM THAT MENTORS A DIVERSE POPULATION OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN DISABILITY TECHNOLOGY AND STORYTELLING: Student scholars are fully integrated in a dynamic project-based learning program that focuses on disability technology challenges. This unique program gives students the opportunity to work in a manufacturing laboratory, working on disability technology that is impacting the lives of people across the country.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
