An illustration showing a paralyzed individual with a spinal cord injury, implanted with intracortical electrodes in the brain. This brain-computer interface (BCI) allows the individual to control a ...

Thanks to major advances in artificial intelligence and robotics, scientists and manufacturers can now offer wearers of bionic limbs devices that redefine what it means to use a prosthesis. A couple ...

Henan University of Technology researchers report on the development of a lightweight lattice-based limb design for a bionic robot. Lightweight structures that can withstand high loads and torsion are ...

Cyborgs are here -- or, at least, they're in DARPA laboratories. For a while now, the Defense Department agency, alongside civilian researchers, has been working to develop prosthetic limbs that can ...

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 ...

A few years ago the thought of a robotic limb controlled by a person's mind was the stuff of science fiction. Today, it seems like there's a new breakthrough in bionic technology every week. It's not ...

Scientists are getting closer to something that wouldn’t look out of place in a science fiction film: bionic limbs that can sense and convey touch to their users. In a new study published this week, ...

For the first time ever, a complex sense of touch for individuals living with spinal cord injuries is a step closer to reality. A new study published in Science, paves the way for complex touch ...
