A team of four Miami University undergraduate students is working to develop an affordable 3D-printed prosthetic hand that costs less than $100 and can be produced in 36 hours, addressing a shortage ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Case Western Reserve University and the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center have received a $9.9 million grant to test a new prosthetic hand that allows amputees to again have a ...

Losing a hand or limb is a life-changing event, and finding a prosthetic that can truly feel has long been a challenge. For many, traditional prosthetics offer limited movement and no sense of touch, ...

Both said they enjoyed the chance to do hands-on engineering work that also helped others. “We’re still learning, we’re still updating ourselves and getting feedback from other people,” Andarz said.

Upper-limb amputees often struggle with everyday tasks due to their limited dexterity. The existing prosthetic hands often lack the fine motor skills and natural movement required for truly ...

A team of researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has recently developed a lightweight prosthetic hand with 19 degrees of freedom (DOF), capable of replicating human ...

How does a robotic arm or a prosthetic hand learn a complex task like grasping and rotating a ball? Researchers address the classic 'nature versus nurture' question. The research demonstrates that the ...

For most people, sensing temperature is second nature. You grab a hot cup of coffee and instinctively pull back if it's too warm. You touch a cold glass of water and immediately register the chill.

Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

A team at the University of Pittsburgh is equipping artificial hands and feet with sensors that are linked to a person's own nervous system.... Researchers work to create a sense of touch in ...

A research paper by scientists at The University of Electro-Communications developed a new socket and prosthetic hand control system that does not interfere with the wrist joint motion. This allows ...
