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 ...

The prosthetics field’s main problem isn’t just designing better devices — it’s the lack of data to guide which device is best for each patient, according to one executive in the space. Josh Caputo, ...

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 ...

A bionic knee that directly attaches to the thigh bone and uses implanted electrodes can make a prosthetic leg feel more like a part of the body, a new study finds. When you purchase through links on ...

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 ...

Robotic surgery is reshaping modern medicine. A combination of robotics and advanced imaging technologies allows surgeons to perform more sophisticated surgerie ...

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 ...
