Researchers have built a prosthetic hand that, with the help of artificial intelligence, can act a lot more like a natural one. The key is to have the hand recognize when the user wants to do ...

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, ...

Modern bionic hand prostheses nearly match their natural counterparts when it comes to dexterity, degrees of freedom, and capability. And many amputees who tried advanced bionic hands apparently ...

Engineers at the University of Utah have given a bionic hand a mind of its own. By equipping a commercial prosthetic with pressure and proximity sensors and training an AI neural network on natural ...

Scientists are using artificial intelligence to help bionic limbs act more like natural ones. NPR's Jon Hamilton reports on an experimental hand that shares control with the user to carry out tricky ...
