Losing a hand or limb is a life-changing event, and finding a prosthetic that can truly feel has long been a challenge. For many, traditional prosthetics offer limited movement and no sense of touch, ...

Scientists at the University of Turku, Finland, have created a stretchable, transparent, and eco-friendly electronic skin ...

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 ...

Fergal Mackie, 28, founded of Edinburgh-based Metacarpal in 2020, which develops fully mechanical prosthetic hands.

The way we understand the movement of our own bodies plays an important role when learning physical skills, from sports to dancing. But a new study finds this phenomenon works very differently for ...

“When people first start walking with a prosthetic leg, they think their bodies are moving more awkwardly than they really are,” says Helen Huang, corresponding author of a paper on the work. “With ...

A virtual forearm can bend in a blink. It can also take its time, easing toward a target as if it is thinking about the move. In a new virtual reality study, both extremes felt wrong. When a ...
