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 ...

Samoana Matagi was one of the four participants in a study that tested the capabilities of a new bionic hand. Here, Matagi wears the bionic hand on one arm and a common prosthetic called a ...

Engineers from the University of Utah have given a bionic hand a mind of its own. Marshall Trout, a post-doctoral researcher, noted that a significant number of amputees (estimated between 20% and 50% ...

The work is part of the Utah NeuroRobotics Lab’s larger vision to improve amputees' quality of life. George said: "The study team is also exploring implanted neural interfaces that allow individuals ...

But the loss of that ability is one of the many challenges people with prosthetic arms and hands face. These fingertips also were equipped with optical proximity sensors capable of "seeing" objects ...
