In spring 2004, ESA’s Technology Transfer Programme (TTP) technology broker MST Aerospace met with Wojtek Czyz and his trainer to perform a pre-screening of the most crucial elements of the prosthesis...
Materials Sciences | Read moreResearchers develop neural implant that learns with the brain
Instead of simply interpreting brain signals and routing them to a robotic hand or leg, this type of brain-machine interface would adapt to a person's behavior over time and use the knowledge to ...
Health and Medicine | Read moreWireless vision implant
For twelve years, experts from different disciplines in the fields of microelectronics, neurophysics, information engineering, computer science, materials science and medicine have been working to dev...
Medical Engineering | Read moreEach finger can be moved separately
It can hold a credit card, use a keyboard with the index finger, and lift a bag weighing up to 20 kg – the world’s first commercially available pros-thetic hand that can move each finger separately an...
Health and Medicine | Read moreKnee brace generates electricity from walking
A report on the device is published in the Feb. 8 issue of the journal Science. Authors include researchers from Simon Fraser University in Canada and the University of Pittsburgh, in addition to U-M....
Medical Engineering | Read moreNanotechnology could fix Achilles' heel
But the Achilles' heel in the prosthetic repertoire is fixing tendons… such as that found in the ankle. Now, researchers from the universities of Manchester and Liverpool have turned to nanotechn...
Medical Engineering | Read morePortable electricity, life-like prosthetics on the way
The technology that makes a cell phone vibrate is the same technology that provides more natural movements to prosthetic limbs.A University of Houston research team is working on recreating an...
Power and Electrical Engineering | Read moreASU, Walter Reed researchers create prosthesis of the future
The device, nicknamed SPARKy, short for Spring Ankle with Regenerative Kinetics, will be a first-of-its-kind smart, active and energy-storing transtibial (below-the-knee) prosthesis.Existing t...
Health and Medicine | Read moreNew research finds people and pigeons see eye to eye
Brett Gibson, an assistant professor of psychology who studies animal behavior, details his latest research in the journal article, “Non-accidental properties underlie shape recognition in mammalian a...
