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, ...

Video Friday is your weekly selection of awesome robotics videos, collected by your friends at IEEE Spectrum robotics. We ...

Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

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 ...

Engineers have developed a prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human. The hand adjusts its grasp to avoid damaging or mishandling whatever it ...

The most advanced new surgical procedure, AMI, addresses proprioception. This refers to the ability to sense position and movement. In an intact human arm or leg, muscles work in pairs. When a bicep ...

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 ...

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 ...

A wave of recent research has brought robotic touch sensitivity closer to human fingertips than ever before, driven by ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
