As the industry moves toward 2026, Frankland predicts a period of experimentation focused on striking the right balance between automation and human intervention. The industry has not always done a ...

Abstract: The flexibility and dexterity of human limbs rely on the processing of a vast quantity of signals within the sensory-motor networks in the brain and spinal cord, distilled into stimuli that ...

Modern bionic hand prostheses nearly match their natural counterparts when it comes to dexterity, degrees of freedom, and capability. And many amputees who tried advanced bionic hands apparently ...

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 ...

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% ...

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 ...
