Researchers have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the movement of the prosthetic limb and—for the first time—also ...

A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. The leg provided the largest gains when ...

Scientists have developed a robotic prosthetic hand that offers precision fingertip control. The ultra-light system offers shape-adaptive gripping through simple motion commands. Using an innovative ...

Matt Carney was good at building robots — he just didn’t want to. While earning his PhD at MIT, he’d spent years studying mechanical engineering and biomechatronics in service of developing bionic ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a method to restore astoundingly natural movement in people who have had leg amputations above the knee. Rather than fit ...

NORWICH, Conn. (WTNH) — In the past, robotic-assisted surgery was used to do hip and knee replacements, but now technology has made it available for shoulder replacements. Anbari said this technology ...

The result is something akin to Thing from “The Addams Family” — with all the scamper and skill, but none of the skin or ...

Researcher Helen Huang holds a robotic prosthetic leg. Huang and colleagues have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the ...
