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, ...

As AI powered prosthetic arms become more advanced, a surprising detail could determine whether they truly feel like part of ...

When AI-powered prosthetic arms that move autonomously become widespread, understanding how people feel about them and accept them will be crucial. In a study appearing in Scientific Reports, ...

New research shows that autonomous robotic limbs must move at human-like speeds to be accepted by the brain as part of the body.

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 ...

The research team led by Dr. Minki Sin, Senior Researcher at KIMM, has developed an ultra-light robotic prosthetic hand that allows amputees to stably and efficiently grasp various objects with simple ...

How does a robotic arm or a prosthetic hand learn a complex task like grasping and rotating a ball? Researchers address the classic 'nature versus nurture' question. The research demonstrates that the ...

Prosthetic technology has created substantial improvements, yet due to its limitations in dexterity and functionality, prosthetic users have not fully been able to conduct the complex motions that ...

The innovative robotic hand features reversible fingers, allowing for autonomous movement and multi-object handling, merging mobility with manipulation.

A new robotic hand resembles a beloved character from the Addams Family franchise. Like the sentient human hand called Thing, the mechanical limb can scurry around and operate on its own—in ways a ...

What has opposable thumbs and is the most dexterous tool on the planet? The human hand, obviously. Well … not anymore. At least according to engineers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne’s ...

Steven Reimer M.S. ’24 stepped back from the table after placing the final sensor on the patient’s arm. Two years of hard work had led to this moment. He had traveled 8,000 miles to Jaipur, India to ...
