Prosthetic hands have long struggled to replicate the dexterity and functionality of natural hands, often limiting users to a single grasp function at a time. This limitation has made everyday tasks, ...

Dr. Hugh Herr, a professor at MIT and senior author of the study, explained the significance: "This is the first prosthetic study in history that shows a leg prosthesis under full neural modulation, ...

NC State’s team is pushing prosthetic technology forward, combining mechanical assistance with artificial intelligence to ...

Scientists have developed sensor technology for a robotic prosthetic arm that detects signals from nerves in the spinal cord. To control the prosthetic, the patient has to think like they are ...

New powered prosthetics are being designed to work in harmony with the body, aiming to prevent the chronic pain and compensatory strain associated with traditional passive limbs.

Scientists from Beijing Institute of Technology have developed a novel method for recognizing hand gestures in prosthetic devices using electromyography (EMG) signals. A recent breakthrough in ...

Advanced electronic sensors and circuitry combined with computer modeling and simulation are two of the leading technologies driving developments in robotic control technology for bringing specialized ...

Amid the bustle of 3D printers and laser cutters, students bent over in concentration, working on prosthetics, tinkering with wires and experimenting with technology they hoped would change lives. The ...

We don't often think about how the sense of touch makes our lives possible. We grip a paper coffee cup with perfect force to hold it but not crush it. Our feet always find the floor. But for people ...

Technology is more than just mechanisms and design -- it's ultimately about people. Adriene Simon/College of Liberal Arts, Auburn University, CC BY-SA To think about an artificial limb is to think ...

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- An abandoned dog who was injured in a Philadelphia hit-and-run is getting a new lease on life with some high-tech intervention. Prosthetic technology has reached new heights. In ...

To think about an artificial limb is to think about a person. It’s an object of touch and motion made to be used, one that attaches to the body and interacts with its user’s world. Historical ...
