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, ...

You might not think of ceramics as the future of robotics, but this new development will make you think again. Ceramics are often used in the creation of delicate teacups and sturdy tiles. But ...

Researchers have developed an AI control system that enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and ...

Genoa (Italy), January 23, 2025 – The European Research Council (ERC) announced today the allocation of 134 "Proof of Concept" (PoC) grants across Europe to bring outstanding scientific research ...

Smart, stretchable and highly sensitive, a new soft sensor opens the door to a wide range of applications in robotics and prosthetics. When applied to the surface of a prosthetic arm or a robotic limb ...

Humanoid robots are moving out of labs and into living rooms, just as aging populations and caregiver shortages are straining home health systems. The next wave is not the rigid metal machines of ...

In the picture an individual with a limb deficiency wears the system during familiarization. The researchers designed a soft prosthetic hand with two degrees of actuation, enabling it to perform ...

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 ...

AI-powered artificial muscles made from pliable materials are reshaping recovery, from stroke rehabilitation to prosthetic design. These machines help people regain motion, strength, and confidence. A ...

Summary When AI powered prosthetic arms that move autonomously become widespread, understanding how people feel about them and accept them will be crucial. In this study, we used virtual reality to ...

Forward-looking: Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have unveiled a new 3D printing technique that could transform how engineers and doctors design devices that require both strength and ...
