Your brain might be lying to you about your new robotic leg. New research shows that users often think they're walking much ...

As AI powered prosthetic arms become more advanced, a surprising detail could determine whether they truly feel like part of ...

When AI-powered prosthetic arms that move autonomously become widespread, understanding how people feel about them and accept ...

A robotic arm that moves too quickly can feel creepy. One that moves too slowly feels awkward and unhelpful. In a VR study, researchers found that AI-powered prosthetic arms were best accepted when ...

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 ...

New research shows that autonomous robotic limbs must move at human-like speeds to be accepted by the brain as part of the body.

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 ...

Most robots rely on rigid, bulky parts that limit their adaptability, strength, and safety in real-world environments. Researchers developed soft, battery-powered artificial muscles inspired by human ...

Having robotic arms that work like those of actual humans is a dream for many in the robotics industry. Researchers from KIMLAB (Kinetic Intelligence Machine LAB) managed to achieve this to some ...

A advancement in the diagnosis of upper limb (UL) spasticity is on the horizon, moving beyond traditional reliance on clinicians' tactile assessments. Researchers affiliated with UNIST have developed ...

What is it about a cheetah's build that enables it to run so fast? What gives the wolf its exceptional endurance? While these questions can be partly answered through animal experiments, many ...
