SOFT ROBOTIC ARMBAND GIVES PROSTHETIC HAND USERS NATURAL CONTROL A breakthrough from IIT and Imperial College London Now, researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) and Imperial College ...

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 commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. The leg provided the largest gains when ...

A surgery developed at MIT, called agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI), connects muscle remnants from the shin and the calf to allow near-natural movement for those using an advanced ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
