Dr. Aadeel Akhtar pitched his high-tech Ability Hand prosthetic on a Season 15 episode of "Shark Tank." What has happened to ...

The complexity of human movement stems from the central nervous system's ability to organize motion using modular control structures. These structures, known as synergies, allow for the coordinated ...

In a new study published this week, researchers debuted a bionic hand system that can reportedly reproduce the most complex tactile sensations seen to date. Scientists at the Cortical Bionics ...

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial ...

This latest award-winning research from an international team details a new method of encoding complex touch sensations into a bionic hand for the first time, using precisely targeted ...

A testing participant controls a bionic hand through a brain-computer interface that allows him to feel pressure changes as the steering wheel moves in the hand. You can probably complete an ...

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

Users of a bionic hand were able to “feel” sensation in such detail that they could blindly identify a letter of the alphabet by tracing it with a fingertip, and users of a bionic arm could control a ...

The Stony Brook University baseball team signed a new player – but he’s 5 years old. Jordan Marotta is a very special lefty. He was born without a left hand. News 12’s Kevin Maher has his story.

Due to embedded sensors, the bionic hand senses the grasped object as if it were being grasped with the human hand, communicating the touch sensations to the user’s brain via advanced ...

Two new articles document progress in neuroprosthetic technology that lets people feel the shape and movement of objects moving over the 'skin' of a bionic hand. You can probably complete an ...
