The human hand is often hailed as the “pinnacle of dexterity”, but there’s always room for improvement. In a new study, ...

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 ...

A modular robotic hand that crawls, grasps from multiple angles, and operates independently—pointing to new possibilities for electronics-driven automation and compact robotic systems.

Phantom Neuro is developing a muscle-machine interface that allows individuals – particularly those with limb loss or motor impairments – to intuitively control advanced robotic systems like ...

Early testers of Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain chip have moved beyond controlling computers and can now move robotic limbs with their mind. In a video shared on X, Rocky Stoutenburgh, who is paralysed ...

There are now at least two patients who have had Neuralink's brain chip implanted in their head. While there have been some bumps in the road, it appears that things are going well enough for Elon ...

A robotic arm with a sense of touch has allowed a man who is paralyzed to quickly perform tasks like pouring water from one cup into another. The robotic arm provides tactile feedback directly to the ...

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 ...

A few years ago the thought of a robotic limb controlled by a person's mind was the stuff of science fiction. Today, it seems like there's a new breakthrough in bionic technology every week. It's not ...
