Abstract: This paper discusses the simulation-based design of an articulated robotic arm in the MATLAB/Simulink platform. The objective of this study is to create a reliable model of robotic arm, ...

When AI-powered prosthetic arms that move autonomously become widespread, understanding how people feel about them and accept them will be crucial. In a study appearing in Scientific Reports, ...

In virtual reality, participants embodied an avatar whose left forearm was replaced by an autonomous prosthetic arm that flexed toward a target at different movement speeds. When AI powered prosthetic ...

Here’s a party trick: Try opening a bottle of water using your thumb and pointer finger while holding it without spilling. It sounds simple, but the feat requires strength, dexterity, and coordination ...

What has opposable thumbs and is the most dexterous tool on the planet? The human hand, obviously. Well … not anymore. At least according to engineers at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne’s ...

Tesla’s Optimus robot just took a giant leap forward, literally. In a pair of newly released videos, Elon Musk reveals Optimus performing complex dance moves, now entirely untethered and autonomous.

Forward-looking: When engineers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) set out to rethink the human hand, they removed one of its defining constraints: attachment. The result is ...
