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 ...

Recent advancements in technology have revolutionized the world of assistive and medical tools, and prosthetic limbs are no exception. We've come a long way from the rigid, purely cosmetic prosthetics ...

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 ...

The first-ever magnet-controlled prosthetic hand grasps an organic hand (Courtesy of the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies via Courthouse News). (CN) — A team of Italian researchers has developed ...

Graduate student Peyton Young works with a robotic arm controlled by electromyography (EMG) signals. Young has now developed a technique to use pressure measurements from muscles (force myography, FMG ...

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 ...

Dr. Hugh Herr, a professor at MIT and senior author of the study, explained the significance: "This is the first prosthetic study in history that shows a leg prosthesis under full neural modulation, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Despite how advanced robots have become, getting them to feel the way humans do is an incredibly complex challenge.

Bicchi is Senior Researcher at Istituto italiano di Tecnologia and Professor at University of Pisa, in Italy. He is one of the two recipients of the award assigned on May 22nd by the IEEE Robotics and ...
