This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in brain-machine interfaces. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...

Graduate student Peyton Young works with a robotic arm controlled by electromyography (EMG) signals. Young has now developed a technique to use pressure measurements from muscles (force myography, FMG ...

Scientists from Beijing Institute of Technology have developed a novel method for recognizing hand gestures in prosthetic devices using electromyography (EMG) signals. A recent breakthrough in ...

Lexy was a producer and on-air presenter who covered consumer tech, including the latest smartphones, wearables and emerging trends like assistive robotics. She won two Gold Telly Awards for her video ...

What if your muscles could do more than just move your body? Imagine flexing your arm to scroll through a webpage or clenching your fist to control a robotic arm. It sounds like something out of a sci ...

A robotic arm that moves too quickly can feel creepy. One that moves too slowly feels awkward and unhelpful. In a VR study, researchers found that AI-powered prosthetic arms were best accepted when ...

A virtual forearm can bend in a blink. It can also take its time, easing toward a target as if it is thinking about the move. In a new virtual reality study, both extremes felt wrong. When a ...

In virtual reality, participants embodied an avatar whose left forearm was replaced by an autonomous prosthetic arm that flexed toward a target at different movement speeds. When AI powered prosthetic ...

Combining two different kinds of signals could help engineers build prosthetic limbs that better reproduce natural movements, according to a new study. A combination of electromyography and force ...
