A Styrofoam coffee cup is easy to underestimate. It weighs almost nothing and collapses under the slightest excess pressure. For most people, picking it up is effortless. For someone using a ...

A bionic hand has been given an AI "mind of its own" to make life easier for amputees. American scientists used state of the art artificial intelligence to "fine-tune" the robotic prosthesis and ...

Scientists are using artificial intelligence to help bionic limbs act more like natural ones. NPR's Jon Hamilton reports on an experimental hand that shares control with the user to carry out tricky ...

Modern bionic hand prostheses nearly match their natural counterparts when it comes to dexterity, degrees of freedom, and capability. And many amputees who tried advanced bionic hands apparently ...

A bionic hand has been given an AI "mind of its own" to make life easier for amputees. American scientists used state of the art artificial intelligence to "fine-tune" the robotic prosthesis and ...

Scientists have created a system that uses solar energy to split water molecules and hydrogen-eating bacteria to produce liquid fuels. The system can convert solar energy to biomass with 10 percent ...

SALT LAKE CITY — University of Utah engineers have given a bionic hand a mind of its own. Post-doctoral researcher Marshall Trout said a large percentage of amputees who get bionic hands — maybe 20% ...

Caption Lead author Marshall Trout, right, worked with four amputees to investigate how AI could be used to autonomously control an advanced prothesis. The AI-powered prosthesis was capable of working ...

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 ...
