The best way to improve amputees' control over a bionic hand is to give the hand a mind of its own, a new study argues. A bionic hand that's controlled by an artificial intelligence program, but under ...

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% ...

In early 2019, I wrote an internal Forbes memo about artificial intelligence entitled “The Bionic Newsroom,” with a nod to those Gen X icons theSix Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman: regular ...

Despite enormous progress in the past two decades, the intentional control of bionic prostheses remains a challenge and the subject of intensive research. Now, scientists at the Medical University of ...

Addressing the agronomic requirements of a high harvesting rate and a low breakage rate in mechanical tobacco-leaf harvesting, this study, rooted in biomimetic approaches, analyzed the kinematic ...

Kicking a ball or climbing stairs with ease after a leg amputation above the knee is now within reach. Researchers at MIT have developed a bionic knee that redefines mobility for above-the-knee ...

A bionic knee that directly attaches to the thigh bone and uses implanted electrodes can make a prosthetic leg feel more like a part of the body, a new study finds. When you purchase through links on ...

Ever since Hugh Herr lost both his legs to a rock-climbing accident, he’s been on a quest to design replacement limbs that feel like the real thing. It’s now possible to engineer light-weight custom ...

Thomas Gee, a former gymnast, used to do handstands, perform wheelies on his skateboard, and run around with his three young children. But in 2001, a marble-sized bump on his left leg swelled to the ...
