Using magnetic beads implanted into muscle tissue within the amputated residuum of animals, researchers have created a more precise way to control prosthetic limbs.
Findings allow for the development of an autonomously updating brain-machine interface, which is able to improve on its own by learning about its subject without additional programming. The system could help develop new robotic prosthetics, which can perform more naturally.
A newly developed sensor for prosthetic arms can detect spinal motor neuron signals, a new study reports.
University of Exeter researchers report people with prosthetic arms are not able to experience the 'size-weight' illusion as strongly as those without missing 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.
Researchers use non-invasive EEG technology to allow people to move a robotic arm with the power of their minds.

Using EEG and brain computer interface technology, researchers have created a robotic arm that can be controlled without brain implants.
Adding a BCI that evokes tactile sensations makes it easier for users to manipulate and use robotic arm prosthetics.
A new study reports amputees often feel as though their prosthetic limb is part of their body.
Researchers have developed a brain friendly extracellular matrix environment that could help change the way people with spinal cord injury and prosthetics lead their lives.
A new MRI study reveals the brain retains neural 'fingerprints' of a missing hand, decades after amputation and regardless of whether the person experiences phantom limb sensations.
Researchers have developed new software that allows powered prosthetics to automatically tune themselves, making the limbs more functionally useful.
