Patient using bionic hand system to eat a chocolate. This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in brain-machine interfaces. In ...

Matt Carney was good at building robots — he just didn’t want to. While earning his PhD at MIT, he’d spent years studying mechanical engineering and biomechatronics in service of developing bionic ...

THE FUTURE — For most, a disembodied hand inching its way across a table would be something found only in a horror movie or stress-induced dream. But for Tilly Lockey, removing the detachable hand ...

Phantom limb pain is a common problem for people who undergo amputation, and so is the ability to function even with a regular prosthetic, but a medical advance that sounds like it comes straight out ...

Leg driven by the nervous system helps people with amputation walk naturally READ MORE: Experts create a robot with a face made out of living skin tissue Scientists have developed a prosthetic leg ...

A patient dubbed “the real bionic woman” has become the first to receive a robotic limb fused with both her nervous and skeletal systems. Karin, a 50-year-old woman from Sweden, had the intelligent ...

Kicking a ball or climbing stairs with ease after a leg amputation above the knee is now within reach. Researchers at MIT have developed a bionic knee that redefines mobility for above-the-knee ...

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.

Known as "the real bionic woman," 50-year-old Karin was fitted a few years ago with an advanced robotic limb after losing her right hand in a farming accident A woman from Sweden has become the first ...

Can hold up to 20 kilograms. Magnetic interchangeable covers. Lightweight. Easy to use. Good value compared with competition. Striking design (though maybe not to all tastes). Open Bionics, the ...
