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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
