A bionic hand has been given an AI "mind of its own" to make life easier for amputees. American scientists used state of the art artificial intelligence to "fine-tune" the robotic prosthesis and ...

A Styrofoam coffee cup is easy to underestimate. It weighs almost nothing and collapses under the slightest excess pressure. For most people, picking it up is effortless. For someone using a ...

SALT LAKE CITY — University of Utah engineers have given a bionic hand a mind of its own. Post-doctoral researcher Marshall Trout said a large percentage of amputees who get bionic hands — maybe 20% ...

A new prosthesis, designed and built by researchers at Case Western University is now capable of using measurements from 20 sensor points to the control grip force of its digits. Incredibly, the ...

Researchers have built a prosthetic hand that, with the help of artificial intelligence, can act a lot more like a natural one. The key is to have the hand recognize when the user wants to do ...

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, ...

A San Diego-based bionic company has unveiled a new prosthetic hand that doesn't just grip, but feels as well. The company’s website describes the Psyonic Ability Hand as “the world’s fastest, ...

Scientists are using artificial intelligence to help bionic limbs act more like natural ones. NPR's Jon Hamilton reports on an experimental hand that shares control with the user to carry out tricky ...

Nerve damage is no joke. Hit the wrong bundle at the wrong time, and you can find parts of your body essentially useless as the brain is unable to communicate with them. So scientists in Vienna had an ...

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...

The Utah researchers outfitted a commercial prosthetic hand with custom fingertips that detect pressure. (Utah NeuroRobotics Lab via SWNS) By Stephen Beech A bionic hand has been given an AI "mind of ...
