The electromyographic(EMG) signal is the bioelectrical current generated during muscle contraction. It can be transmitted as an input signal to an intelligent bionic prosthetic hand to control hand ...

Scientists from Beijing Institute of Technology have developed a novel method for recognizing hand gestures in prosthetic devices using electromyography (EMG) signals. A recent breakthrough in ...

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, ...

A new system utilizing artificial intelligence allows bionic hands to grasp objects with a delicacy and precision that ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a novel training protocol for brain-computer interfaces in a study with rhesus monkeys. The method enables precise control of prosthetic hands using signals from the brain ...

An ultra-light robotic prosthetic hand has been developed that enables both precision fingertip control and shape-adaptive gripping through simple motion commands. The hand features an innovative ...

For my doctoral dissertation, I developed a novel myoelectric control algorithm that allows for continuous control of the hand posture including all necessary postures used in activities of daily ...

Lexy was a producer and on-air presenter who covered consumer tech, including the latest smartphones, wearables and emerging trends like assistive robotics. She won two Gold Telly Awards for her video ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in brain-machine interfaces. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

Peruvian engineer Enzo Romero, LAT Bionics founder, develops prosthetic arms that cost just $800 — a fraction of the usual cost of around $40,000.

While a number of groups are developing thought-controlled prosthetic hands, most of the devices require electrodes or other relatively fiddly electronics to be implanted in the amputee's body. Such ...
