The Utah team turned to AI to solve the problem. By integrating proximity and pressure sensors into a commercial bionic hand, and then training an artificial neural network on grasping postures, the ...

Scientists are getting closer to something that wouldn’t look out of place in a science fiction film: bionic limbs that can sense and convey touch to their users. In a new study published this week, ...

A complex sense of touch for individuals living with spinal cord injuries is a step closer to reality. A study published in Science, paves the way for complex touch sensations through brain ...

The AI is pre-programmed to guide the hand into different postures, using pressure and proximity sensors Amputees then drive the AI, allowing them to more deftly control the bionic hand FRIDAY, Dec.

"The goal from the beginning has been to create a prosthetic hand that we model based on the human hand's physical and sensing capabilities—a more natural prosthetic that functions and feels like a ...

SALT LAKE CITY — University of Utah engineers have given a bionic hand a mind of its own. Post-doctoral researcher Marshall Trout said a large percentage of amputees who get bionic hands — maybe 20% ...

At 18, Jamie Grohsong was living a dream many young athletes chase for years. He was a three-time all-conference shortstop, a Division I college prospect and a player who lived for the game. Then one ...

A bionic hand has been given an AI "mind of its own" to make life easier for amputees. American scientists used state of the art artificial intelligence to "fine-tune" the robotic prosthesis and ...

An illustration showing a paralyzed individual with a spinal cord injury, implanted with intracortical electrodes in the brain. This brain-computer interface (BCI) allows the individual to control a ...
