Prosthetics

A new bionic arm is so intuitive, wearers think and behave like people without amputations while using it to perform everyday tasks.

MIT and Brown researchers have developed a technique using implanted magnetic beads that they hope will lead to better control of prosthetic limbs.

MIT researchers have created a soft, inflatable prosthetic hand that provides advanced abilities at a fraction of the cost and weight.

Bionic arms used to cost $80,000. Now, a young engineer has lowered the cost by over 90%.

Indian startup Makers Hive has developed a bionic arm that’s not only 90% cheaper than most, but also more functional.

To show how human augmentation can affect the brain, participants in a new study underwent fMRIs after learning to use a prosthetic called the "Third Thumb."

A new amputation surgery technique developed at MIT reconnects muscle pairings and may lead to better prosthetic control — and less pain.

A man paralyzed from the neck down used a brain computer interface to control two robot arms — a big step in the field of mind-controlled prosthetics.

A prosthetic eye may soon be possible, thanks to new research that demonstrates how to stimulate the brain to “see.”

A new computer vision system developed to work with a prosthetic leg predicts the type of terrain ahead so that the limb can adjust accordingly.
