In the picture an individual with a limb deficiency wears the system during familiarization. The researchers designed a soft prosthetic hand with two degrees of actuation, enabling it to perform ...

Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...

Matt Carney was good at building robots — he just didn’t want to. While earning his PhD at MIT, he’d spent years studying mechanical engineering and biomechatronics in service of developing bionic ...

Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for the development of assistive and medical tools, including ...

Phantom Neuro is developing a muscle-machine interface that allows individuals – particularly those with limb loss or motor impairments – to intuitively control advanced robotic systems like ...

Losing a limb will always be traumatic, but soon not irreversible. Exciting news from the research teams working on connecting robotic limbs with human brains. Tests have shown amazing progress… ...

People with severe paralysis are now using implanted brain chips to move robotic arms using nothing but their thoughts, turning a long promised vision of brain computer interfaces into a visible, ...
