Researchers from the Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) and School of Medicine (SOM) have, for the first time, demonstrated simultaneous control of two of the world’... Read more
UNIVERSITY OF UTAH ENGINEERS HELP DEVELOP MOTORIZED PROSTHETIC ARM THAT CAN SENSE TOUCH, MOVE WITH YOUR THOUGHTS Keven Walgamott had a good “feeling” about picking up the egg without crushin... Read more
About 75% of amputees exhibit mobility of their phantom limb. Using this information, in collaboration with physicians, researchers from CNRS, Aix-Marseille University and Sorbonne Universit... Read more
‘Electronic skin’ allows user to experience a sense of touch and pain; ‘After many years, I felt my hand, as if a hollow shell got filled with life again,’ amputee vo... Read more
Luke Skywalker’s bionic hand made possible by ultrasound technology Luke Skywalker’s bionic hand is a step closer to reality for amputees in this galaxy. Researchers at the Georgia Institute... Read more
We’ve tried a new approach, moving the focus from muscles to the nervous system. This means that our technology can detect and decode signals more clearly, opening up the possibility of robo... Read more
Thanks to the electrodes system a stable signal is obtained, which allows precise control like handling an egg without breaking. It also provides sensations as if it were a real hand. The fi... Read more
For patients who’ve lost limbs, it’s a challenge is to put both their lives and their bodies back together. Now, a breakthrough technology being tested at the University of Calif... Read more
Stanford engineers have created a plastic skin-like material that can detect pressure and deliver a Morse code-like signal directly to a living brain cell. The work takes a big step toward a... Read more
A Colorado man made history at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) this summer when he became the first bilateral shoulder-level amputee to wear and simultaneously... Read more
Thirteen-year-old Sydney Kendall had one request for the Washington University in St. Louis students building her a robotic prosthetic arm: Make it pink. Kendall Gretsch, Henry Lather and Kr... Read more
While 3D printing technology has emerged to serve a wide variety of purposes, few appear more worthwhile than that of US-based company Not Impossible Labs. Through its Daniel Project, the co... Read more
