Modern bionic hand prostheses nearly match their natural counterparts when it comes to dexterity, degrees of freedom, and capability. And many amputees who tried advanced bionic hands apparently ...

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 ...

Engineers at the University of Utah have given a bionic hand a mind of its own. By equipping a commercial prosthetic with pressure and proximity sensors and training an AI neural network on natural ...

Researchers build a vision-based system for prosthetic hands, enabling context-aware grip control and improved daily function ...

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 ...

The team explained that one problem is that most commercial bionic arms and hands have no way of replicating the sense of touch that normally gives people intuitive, reflexive ways of grasping objects ...

STORY: In a Nigerian laboratory, Gift Usen experienced something she’d dreamed of her entire life: the feeling of having two complete hands. Born with her left arm ending at the elbow, she tested a ...

An AI-guided bionic hand can provide amputees greater dexterity The AI is pre-programmed to guide the hand into different postures, using pressure and proximity sensors Amputees then drive the AI, ...

You can probably complete an amazing number of tasks with your hands without looking at them. But if you put on gloves that muffle your sense of touch, many of those simple tasks become frustrating.
