A new system utilizing artificial intelligence allows bionic hands to grasp objects with a delicacy and precision that ...

The setup incorporates a temperature sensor that covers the prosthetic hand's index finger pad, along with a thermode located in the socket that connects the prosthesis to the residual arm stump. A ...

Fine tuning sensors on prosthetics includes incorporating the sense of touch into a device to be as close to the sensations felt by a natural limb as can be. The two began working together last ...

Whether you want to build a computer interface device, or control a prosthetic hand, having some idea of a user’s finger movements can be useful. The OpenMuscle finger tracking sensor can offer the ...

Researchers at the University of Utah are using artificial intelligence (AI) to make this innovative bionic hand design more intuitive.

Sensory feedback provided by prosthetic hands shows promise in increasing functional abilities and promoting embodiment of the prosthetic device. However, sensory feedback is limited based on where ...

An unexpected discovery about temperature feedback has led to new bionic technology that allows amputees to sense the temperature of objects ­– both hot and cold – directly in the phantom hand. The ...

Whether you want to build a computer interface device, or control a prosthetic hand, having some idea of a user’s finger movements can be useful. The OpenMuscle finger tracking sensor can offer the ...

You might not think of ceramics as the future of robotics, but this new development will make you think again. Ceramics are often used in the creation of delicate teacups and sturdy tiles. But ...

John Horne lost his right leg to bone cancer when he was a freshman in high school. This intensely personal experience spawned his career and passion for advocating for those with limb loss. The ...
