A newly designed thread-like robot can deliver clot reducing therapies in response to stroke or other brain blockages.
Researchers are developing a sophisticated prosthetic hand that can be directly controlled by the thoughts of the user.
Neural activity patterns for limb movements remain stable over time. Researchers were able to record, decode, and reconstruct activity patterns from common movement skills. The findings could have immediate implications for the development of neuroprosthetics that can bypass brain injuries by inferring intended motor actions from a person's brain.
People who were touched by conversational humanoid robots report positive emotional states and were more likely to comply with requests made by the robot.
Researchers have developed a new method of restoring movement sensation for upper limb amputees. The researchers used small robots to vibrate muscles in order to 'turn on' movement sensations.
Researchers describe how an electrode array sitting on top of the brain enabled a 30-year-old paralyzed man to control the movement of a character on a computer screen in three dimensions with just his thoughts. It also enabled him to move a robot arm to touch a friend’s hand for the first time in the seven years.
Researchers unveil their next generation of social and telepresence robots.
Researchers are working to develop new assistive robotic systems that can improve the quality of life for the elderly and those with disabilities.
Using tiny solar-panel-like cells surgically placed underneath the retina, scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have devised a...
Researchers investigate why feminine robots and AI systems, such as Siri and Alexa, are considered to be more humanistic than their male counterparts.
A new study reveals how the spinal cord is able to process and control more complex functions researchers previously believed to have been goverened by the cerebral cortex.
