Scientists are getting closer to something that wouldn’t look out of place in a science fiction film: bionic limbs that can sense and convey touch to their users. In a new study published this week, ...

Thanks to major advances in artificial intelligence and robotics, scientists and manufacturers can now offer wearers of bionic limbs devices that redefine what it means to use a prosthesis. A couple ...

Henan University of Technology researchers report on the development of a lightweight lattice-based limb design for a bionic robot. Lightweight structures that can withstand high loads and torsion are ...

Cyborgs are here -- or, at least, they're in DARPA laboratories. For a while now, the Defense Department agency, alongside civilian researchers, has been working to develop prosthetic limbs that can ...

Losing a limb will always be traumatic, but soon not irreversible. Exciting news from the research teams working on connecting robotic limbs with human brains. Tests have shown amazing progress… ...

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 ...

An illustration showing a paralyzed individual with a spinal cord injury, implanted with intracortical electrodes in the brain. This brain-computer interface (BCI) allows the individual to control a ...

For the first time ever, a complex sense of touch for individuals living with spinal cord injuries is a step closer to reality. A new study published in Science, paves the way for complex touch ...
