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, ...

Robotic prosthetics developed by NC State University researchers are helping amputees reduce long-term damage to their bodies ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have come up with a better prosthetic hand that uses a hybrid design to carefully grip various objects with just the right amount of pressure. The robotic ...

Researchers are paving the way for the design of bionic limbs that feel natural to users. They demonstrate the connection between hand movement patterns and motoneuron control patterns. The study, ...

Built from flexible, compliant materials, soft robots are gaining relevance for tasks ranging from minimally invasive surgery ...

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 ...

ABB Robotics and PSYONIC explore using real human prosthetic touch data to train industrial robots for delicate gripping tasks in factories.

Building a robotic arm and hand that matches human dexterity is tougher than it looks. We can create aesthetically pleasing ones, very functional ones, but the perfect mix of both? Still a work in ...
