Insights from probing the shock-absorbing layer within the crustacean’s club-like claw could inspire the design of tough new ...

Researchers are paving the way for the design of bionic limbs that feel natural to users. They demonstrate the connection ...

The complexity of human movement stems from the central nervous system's ability to organize motion using modular control ...

robots could rescue them without risking more human lives. However, such sites are full of hazards, like collapsing rubble that could fall on the robot. With detachable limbs, search-and-rescue ...

The human remains found stuffed in a suitcase floating off Manhattan in the East River consisted of a man’s headless ...

These artificial limbs, designed to feel like part of the ... “The arm has a full range of human motion in the elbow, wrist and individual fingers — and it provides haptic feedback (vibrations ...

This course considers normal human movement; pathological conditions resulting from disease, injury, malformations, birth, etc.; and engineering approaches such as prostheses (limb replacements) and ...

But Valle and his team are hopeful that such advances can be made, and that a truly human-feeling bionic limb is well within the realm of possibility. “Although many challenges remain ...

On one side, a participant can move a robotic arm by simply thinking about movement, and on the other side, sensors on that robotic limb can trigger pulses of electrical activity called ...
