When AI-powered prosthetic arms that move autonomously become widespread, understanding how people feel about them and accept ...

A virtual forearm can bend in a blink. It can also take its time, easing toward a target as if it is thinking about the move.

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, ...

Your brain might be lying to you about your new robotic leg. New research shows that users often think they're walking much better—or worse—than they actually are.

The way we understand the movement of our own bodies plays an important role when learning physical skills, from sports to ...

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 robotic arm that moves too quickly can feel creepy. One that moves too slowly feels awkward and unhelpful. In a VR study, researchers found that AI-powered prosthetic arms were best accepted when ...

Osseointegrated implants — metal, robotic prosthetic systems that enable bone to grow over the artificial limb — were found to have minimal risk for severe infection in a recent study published in the ...

Upper-limb amputees often struggle with everyday tasks due to their limited dexterity. The existing prosthetic hands often lack the fine motor skills and natural movement required for truly ...

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 ...

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 ...

The first-ever magnet-controlled prosthetic hand grasps an organic hand (Courtesy of the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies via Courthouse News). A black robotic hand grasps a human hand in front of ...
