Algorithm for robotic prosthetics could ease pain for amputees
Algorithm for robotic prosthetics could ease pain for amputees Researchers have developed an algorithm that combines two processes to personalize robotic prosthetic devices, optimizing movement and helping users exhibit a more natural walking pattern. The new approach aims to address health challenges associated with amputations, such as lower back pain and hip problems, by considering […]

Watch: Prosthetic robot hand ‘knows’ what it’s touching
Watch: Prosthetic robot hand ‘knows’ what it’s touching Engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human. The hand carefully conforms and adjusts its grasp to avoid damaging or mishandling whatever it holds. The system’s hybrid design is a first for robotic hands, […]
