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 ...

Researchers have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both ...

For an estimated two million people in the U.S. living with limb loss, commercial-grade prosthetics can be bulky, unintuitive, and still make everyday activities, like stepping over a sleeping cat, a ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a method to restore astoundingly natural movement in people who have had leg amputations above the knee. Rather than fit ...

The kinds of prosthetic limbs available to leg amputees are far from perfect. They come with a risk of falling, decreased mobility, and don’t feel like a true extension of the leg. These factors, ...

There's been a lot of research into how to give robots and prosthesis wearers a sense of touch, but it has focused largely on the hands. Now, researchers led by ETH Zurich want to restore sensory ...
