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, ...

Upper-limb amputees often struggle with everyday tasks due to their limited dexterity. The existing prosthetic hands often lack the fine motor skills and natural movement required for truly ...

New research shows that autonomous robotic limbs must move at human-like speeds to be accepted by the brain as part of the body.

The research team led by Dr. Minki Sin, Senior Researcher at KIMM, has developed an ultra-light robotic prosthetic hand that allows amputees to stably and efficiently grasp various objects with simple ...

A robotic arm that moves too quickly can feel creepy. One that moves too slowly feels awkward and unhelpful. In a VR study, researchers found that AI-powered prosthetic arms were best accepted when ...

Steven Reimer M.S. ’24 stepped back from the table after placing the final sensor on the patient’s arm. Two years of hard work had led to this moment. He had traveled 8,000 miles to Jaipur, India to ...

Engineers at Johns Hopkins University have developed an innovative prosthetic hand that can grasp everyday items, such as water bottles and plush toys, with human-like precision. The hand adjusts its ...

Prosthetic technology has created substantial improvements, yet due to its limitations in dexterity and functionality, prosthetic users have not fully been able to conduct the complex motions that ...

How does a robotic arm or a prosthetic hand learn a complex task like grasping and rotating a ball? Researchers address the classic 'nature versus nurture' question. The research demonstrates that the ...
