Discover the Wuji Hand, a lightweight robot hand innovation combining strength, precision, and lifelike motion for robotics ...

A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan ...

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, ...

Recent advancements in technology have revolutionized the world of assistive and medical tools, and prosthetic limbs are no exception. We've come a long way from the rigid, purely cosmetic prosthetics ...

Though Atlas was designed to resemble a person in other ways, its hands aren’t exactly one-to-one. Instead, company engineers ...

Editor’s note: Innovation Thursday – a deep dive into a newly emerging technology or companies – is a regular feature at WRAL TechWire. RALEIGH – Robotic prosthetic ankles that are controlled by nerve ...

Phantom limb pain is a common problem for people who undergo amputation, and so is the ability to function even with a regular prosthetic, but a medical advance that sounds like it comes straight out ...

Demonstration of the robotic prosthetic ankle. Electromyographic sensors (on calf at left) capture electrical activity generated by muscles when they are flexed. This signal tells the prosthesis which ...

Robotic prosthetic ankles that are controlled by nerve impulses allow amputees to move more "naturally," improving their stability, according to a new study from North Carolina State University and ...

A newly developed Robotic Prosthetic Leg by North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina improves amputees' movement to the point that it returns the subject to instinctively ...
