With the help of brain-machine interface technology and robotic arms, a paralyzed man was able to feed himself for the first time in thirty years.
Researchers have developed a virtual robotic arm that can be controlled by a person's feet in a virtual environment to provide an "extra" limb. After training, users reported feeling the virtual limb felt as though it was part of their physical body.
Researchers have developed a controllable robotic finger covered with living skin tissue that has the ability to heal itself.
Findings challenge the long-standing view that behaving unpredictably helps animals survive when they encounter predators.
Robotic surgery for bladder removal decreased recovery time and hospital stay duration for patients, researchers report.
Researchers explore the use of myoelectric signals to detect intended hand gestures in patients with tetraplegia.
Researchers have successfully stabilized an enzyme that is able to degrade scar tissue as a result of spinal cord injury with the help of AI and robotics.
Applying theories from psychology and cognitive science may help humans learn to collaborate with robots faster and more effectively, researchers report.
A newly developed control technology that combines proprioception with visual perception allows robots to tackle rough terrains faster and more efficiently.
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.
