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, ...

A 2022 study published in the National Library of Medicine at the National Center for Biotechnology Information found that more than 44% of people with upper limb loss abandon their prostheses, citing ...

Researchers have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the movement of the prosthetic limb and - for the first time - also ...

A smoother experience for robotic prosthetic leg users is the aim of a University of Michigan project that has received renewed support from the National Institutes of Health. The R01 grant of $3 ...

A new report establishes the feasibility of using a state-of-the-art pattern recognition system to improve control of a robotic leg. With the new system, which uses electromyographic (EMG) signals ...

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 ...

Pisa, 11 september. It is the first magnetically controlled prosthetic hand, that allows amputees to reproduce all movements simply by thinking and to control the force applied when grasping fragile ...

Lexy was a producer and on-air presenter who covered consumer tech, including the latest smartphones, wearables and emerging trends like assistive robotics. She won two Gold Telly Awards for her video ...

The prosthetics field’s main problem isn’t just designing better devices — it’s the lack of data to guide which device is best for each patient, according to one executive in the space. Josh Caputo, ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have come up with a better prosthetic hand that uses a hybrid design to carefully grip various objects with just the right amount of pressure. The robotic ...
