A new brain-controlled bionic limb has the ability to help people with leg amputations more easily navigate obstacles and walk more quickly, a new study published in the journal Nature Medicine shows.
A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time.
BEFORE HUGH Herr became a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), he was a promising rock climber. But after being trapped in a blizzard during a climb at age 17, he lost both ...
State-of-the-art prosthetic limbs can help people with amputations achieve a natural walking gait, but they don't give the user full neural control over the limb. Instead, they rely on robotic sensors ...
The first time Amy Pietrafitta strapped on a bionic limb and took her first steps, the sensation was so realistic, so familiar, and so intuitive, the 47-year-old Plymouth resident cried. It had been ...
CHICAGO - Researchers have come up with new technology that may one day help amputee war veterans: an artificial leg that reads brain signals, and it's already being tested out. The bionic leg that ...
EUGENE, Ore. — March 5, 2025 — Picking up a cup of coffee, flipping a light switch or grabbing a door handle don’t require much apparent thought. But behind the curtain, the brain performs feats to ...
The $9.9 million research project will allow a dozen amputees to test a neural-controlled prosthesis that sends touch ...
Alex Smith was 11 years old when he lost his right arm in 2003. A drunk driver operating a boat collided with his family’s vessel on Lake Austin, sending him overboard. He hit a propeller, and his arm ...
Home > Extreme Brain-controlled prosthesis nearly as good as one-finger typing Researchers at Stanford have recently developed new computational methods to make BMIs significantly more accurate. With ...
Cedars-Sinai investigators found a new way to control prosthetic devices using brain signals. Their preclinical findings, if confirmed in clinical studies, could help stroke survivors control external ...
Cyborgs are here -- or, at least, they're in DARPA laboratories. For a while now, the Defense Department agency, alongside civilian researchers, has been working to develop prosthetic limbs that can ...
