With up to six fingers that can bend in multiple directions, the innovative tool could one day be used to carry out tasks in tight spaces ...

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, ...

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

While BionIT Labs’ roots are in advanced prosthetics, the company has evolved Adam’s Hand from assistive medical devices to ...

Researchers have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the movement of the prosthetic limb and - for the first time - also ...

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 groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They've created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical ...

Advanced electronic sensors and circuitry combined with computer modeling and simulation are two of the leading technologies driving developments in robotic control technology for bringing specialized ...

Researcher Helen Huang holds a robotic prosthetic leg. Huang and colleagues have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the ...

Boaz explores a device that simulates dozens of different prosthetic feet, so that folks who use prosthetics can choose the ...
