As AI powered prosthetic arms become more advanced, a surprising detail could determine whether they truly feel like part of the body: how fast they move.

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 ...

Mice can develop a sense of embodiment of an artificial limb, similar to humans who participate in the rubber-hand illusion experiment, according to a study published in PLOS Biology by Luc Estebanez ...

As artificial intelligence advances, future prosthetic arms may be able to move on their own to assist users with daily tasks. But for these devices to be truly helpful, people must feel comfortable ...

Researchers at Guilin University of Electronic Technology in China have developed a new vision-integrated prosthetic system designed to automate grip strength. It could make prosthetic hand use more ...

A virtual forearm can bend in a blink. It can also take its time, easing toward a target as if it is thinking about the move. In a new virtual reality study, both extremes felt wrong. When 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 ...

Above-elbow and hand prosthetics represent remarkable achievements in rehabilitative technology, offering individuals comprehensive solutions to challenges of limb loss.

When Dave Hewett started Adaptive Prosthetics & Orthotics in 1997, his goal was to provide patients needing artificial limbs and other prosthetic devices with a more individualized and compassionate ...
