Prosthetic hands have long struggled to replicate the dexterity and functionality of natural hands, often limiting users to a single grasp function at a time. This limitation has made everyday tasks, ...
Engineers from MIT and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have developed a prosthetic hand that precisely inflates individual fingers to take hold of objects, while also providing the user with tactile ...

Prosthetic hands get identification boost to predict precise grip strength need
Researchers at Guilin University of Electronic Technology in China have developed a new vision-integrated ...
Prostheses are having a renaissance. Amputees with $10,000 or more can strap on a mechanical hand that they can actually control with their thoughts, much like they’re using a biological hand. But the ...
image: An MIT-developed inflatable robotic hand gives amputees real-time tactile control. The smart hand is soft and elastic, weighs about half a pound, and costs a fraction of comparable prosthetics.
"We're combining the strengths of both rigid and soft robotics to mimic the human hand," Sankar said. "The human hand isn't ...
MIT has created a soft, inflatable robotic hand that it hopes will give amputees back the tactile control that's lost with a traditional prosthetic device. Engineers on the project aim to help more ...
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 first-of-its-kind study using haptic/touch sensation feedback, electromyogram (EMG) control and an innovative wearable soft robotic armband could just be a game changer for users of prosthetic hands ...
For the more than 5 million people in the world who have undergone an upper-limb amputation, prosthetics have come a long way. Beyond traditional mannequin-like appendages, there is a growing number ...
