Recent advancements in technology have revolutionized the world of assistive and medical tools, and prosthetic limbs are no exception. We've come a long way from the rigid, purely cosmetic prosthetics ...

A California-based company has introduced a robotic hand that can perform multiple tasks. Named Aero Hand Open, the TetherIA’s open-source, underactuated robotic hand is meant to solve the robotic ...

Scientists are using artificial intelligence to make bionic limbs act more like natural ones.

Sanctuary AI's Phoenix robot is certainly an impressive beast, with hydraulically actuated hands that are incredibly dextrous. Well, those hands have recently become even more useful, as each one is ...

Meta says it’s partnering with sensor firm GelSight and Wonik Robotics, a South Korean robotics company, to commercialize tactile sensors for AI. The new devices aren’t meant for consumers. Rather, ...

Students at the Springdale Public Library were treated to a workshop about biomechanical engineering led by representatives from the University of Arkansas. Click here to see more photos from the ...

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 ...

Matt Carney was good at building robots — he just didn’t want to. While earning his PhD at MIT, he’d spent years studying mechanical engineering and biomechatronics in service of developing bionic ...
