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, ...

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.

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 ...

In 2011, Jeremy Schroeder was driving a four-wheeler near Sherwood, Ohio, when he crashed into a stop sign he hadn't seen as the stone path suddenly turned to asphalt. The sign left a deep gash in ...

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 ...

Thanks to major advances in artificial intelligence and robotics, scientists and manufacturers can now offer wearers of bionic limbs devices that redefine what it means to use a prosthesis. A couple ...

So many iconic characters in science fiction and comics have bionic limbs — from the Winter Soldier to Luke Skywalker and Imperator Furiosa. But what if bionic limbs existed outside of science fiction ...

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 ...
