Researchers have built a prosthetic hand that, with the help of artificial intelligence, can act a lot more like a natural one. The key is to have the hand recognize when the user wants to do ...
The development of body-powered prosthetic hands has stagnated for over twenty years. That is the main conclusion of a study by researchers from TU Delft and the University of Groningen into this type ...
Engineers from MIT and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have developed a prosthetic hand that precisely inflates individual fingers to take hold of objects, while also providing the user with tactile ...
A Texas school is using 3-D technology to help children in need. While prosthetics can be expensive, they're doing it at no cost to those who need them. Engineering students at Summit Christian ...
A U.S. Army soldier is participating in a clinical trial at Walter Reed testing a neural-enabled prosthetic limb designed to ...
Prostheses are having a renaissance. Amputees with $10,000 or more can strap on a mechanical hand that they can actually control with their thoughts, much like they’re using a biological hand. But the ...
Peruvian engineer Enzo Romero, LAT Bionics founder, develops prosthetic arms that cost just $800 — a fraction of the usual cost of around $40,000.
Touch Bionics has designed a pair of highly-advanced prosthetic hands for a double amputee. What makes the technology so impressive is the range of grips the user can choose from — 24 in total, all of ...
A research paper by scientists at The University of Electro-Communications developed a new socket and prosthetic hand control system that does not interfere with the wrist joint motion. This allows ...
Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...
Paul Cederna dreams of a hand for every occasion. “I can imagine somebody that has this entire suite of hands,” he said. “They’re a farmer, and they’re working on their tractor and welding and ...
