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 ...

Cyborgs are here -- or, at least, they're in DARPA laboratories. For a while now, the Defense Department agency, alongside civilian researchers, has been working to develop prosthetic limbs that can ...

Thanks to recent technological developments, amputees can now sense temperature through prosthetic limbs. Known as the MiniTouch, this heat-sensitive prosthetic hand has a thermal sensor embedded ...

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 ...

Blood pressure monitors, prosthetic limbs and smart glasses for surgeons were among the products honored by the CES Innovation Awards program at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. CES ...

The BRAVO Laboratory at the US Department of Veterans Affairs in the heart of New York City is making some moves — and that’s ...

Scientists from Beijing Institute of Technology have developed a novel method for recognizing hand gestures in prosthetic devices using electromyography (EMG) signals. A recent breakthrough in ...

Technology that enables amputees to feel wetness through a prosthesis has been developed by a team of researchers at the University of Southampton and at EPFL, one of the two Swiss Federal Institutes ...

At the heart of this breakthrough is a surgical procedure known as the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface, or AMI. Unlike traditional amputation methods, the AMI reconnects muscles in the residual ...

Because biological limbs are connected to our skeletons, we don't notice that they weigh a lot! As technology develops, scientists have designed lighter, more functional prostheses, and the latest can ...

Artificial limbs are being given a helping hand to perform everyday tasks by AI technology. The way prosthetic hands predict ...
