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, ...

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 ...

Osseointegrated implants — metal, robotic prosthetic systems that enable bone to grow over the artificial limb — were found to have minimal risk for severe infection in a recent study published in the ...

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 ...

You might not think of ceramics as the future of robotics, but this new development will make you think again. Ceramics are often used in the creation of delicate teacups and sturdy tiles. But ...

Scientists have developed a robotic prosthetic hand that offers precision fingertip control. The ultra-light system offers shape-adaptive gripping through simple motion commands. Using an innovative ...

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 ...

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

A Utah family is hoping their insurance company will reconsider a recent decision that denied their daughter a “life-changing” new prosthetic. Remi Bateman, 9, was born without a hand below the elbow, ...

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 ...

A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. The leg provided the largest gains when ...
