This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in brain-machine interfaces. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

Combining two different kinds of signals could help engineers build prosthetic limbs that better reproduce natural movements, according to a new study. A combination of electromyography and force ...

Lexy was a producer and on-air presenter who covered consumer tech, including the latest smartphones, wearables and emerging trends like assistive robotics. She won two Gold Telly Awards for her video ...

Scientists from Beijing Institute of Technology have developed a novel method for recognizing hand gestures in prosthetic devices using electromyography (EMG) signals. A recent breakthrough in ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. VR tests show autonomous prosthetic arms feel most “yours” when they move at human-like speed, about a 1-second reach. (CREDIT: ...

What if your muscles could do more than just move your body? Imagine flexing your arm to scroll through a webpage or clenching your fist to control a robotic arm. It sounds like something out of a sci ...

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 ...

A man who had his right arm amputated below the elbow has been able to feel hot and cold in his missing hand via a modified prosthetic arm with thermal sensors. After an amputation, some people can ...

Graduate student Peyton Young works with a robotic arm controlled by electromyography (EMG) signals. Young has now developed a technique to use pressure measurements from muscles (force myography, FMG ...

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 ...

Experimental armband can measure both electrical (top row) and pressure signals from arm muscles. Signals from either or both sensors were fed into an algorithm as participants moved their hands with ...
