A newly designed bionic eye is safe and stable for long-term implantation, researchers conclude following a three-month study in sheep. The discovery paves the way for human trials of the bionic device.
Enabling social skills in robots could lead to smoother, more positive human-robot interactions, researchers say.
Researchers have identified how specific neurons in the cuneate nucleus help filter distracting information to coordinate dexterous movements. The findings have implications for the development of new prosthetics and robotic equipment that can fine-tune movement based on the sense of touch.
A new study shows how sophisticated social awareness in children can be in the transference of behavior.
Engineers have created a new robot that models the mechanics of the strong punch of the mantis shrimp.
A newly developed bionic arm combines motor control with touch and hand movement sensations, allowing those with upper-arm amputations to behave and react as though they haven't lost their limb.
The gaze of a humanoid robot influences the way people react to social decision-making tasks.
Using magnetic beads implanted into muscle tissue within the amputated residuum of animals, researchers have created a more precise way to control prosthetic limbs.
MIT researchers have developed a new, lightweight robotic hand that provides tactile feedback and is dexterous enough to perform tasks like zipping a suitcase and pouring juice.
Magnetic microrobots move against fluid flow and precisely deliver substances to neural materials.
