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 ...

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 ...

There are probably over a million people in the U.S. who could use a prosthetic arm and dearly want one. That includes those who have suffered amputations or accidents and those born with congenital ...

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 ...
