Our hands are works of art. A rigid skeleton provides structure. Muscles adjust to different weights. Our skin, embedded with touch, pressure, and temperature sensors, provides immediate feedback on ...

Recent advancements in technology have revolutionized the world of assistive and medical tools, and prosthetic limbs are no exception. We've come a long way from the rigid, purely cosmetic prosthetics ...

With 3D printers, advanced laser cutters and even heavy-duty sewing machines, Maker Space 307 is loaded with tech for the ...

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...

Noninvasive brain tech is transforming how people interact with robotic devices. Instead of relying on muscle movement, this technology allows a person to control a robotic hand by simply thinking ...

Anyone committed to building a particular skill is capable of experiencing the "ceiling effect," in which performance plateaus after years of training. For hobbyists, this is frustrating; for ...
