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 surgery developed at MIT, called agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI), connects muscle remnants from the shin and the calf to allow near-natural movement for those using an advanced ...

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 ...

The first-ever magnet-controlled prosthetic hand grasps an organic hand (Courtesy of the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies via Courthouse News). (CN) — A team of Italian researchers has developed ...

"Smart" prosthetic legs can help amputees achieve a natural walking gait, but it's done through robotic sensors and algorithms that drive the limb forward at predetermined rates. A better way would be ...

Iceland based Össur makes some of the slickest bionic limb attachments you can buy. The company's lower leg prosthetics have the ability to sense the phase of the gait and smoothly power the ...

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 ...

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts ‒ Leg amputations haven't changed much in a very long time. Civil War-era textbooks describing them look pretty similar to contemporary ones, said Dr. Matthew Carty, a staff ...

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 ...
