The way we understand the movement of our own bodies plays an important role when learning physical skills, from sports to ...

Your brain might be lying to you about your new robotic leg. New research shows that users often think they're walking much better—or worse—than they actually are.

A new robotic prosthetic leg prototype offers a more natural gait while also being quieter and more energy efficient than other designs. The key is the use of new small and powerful motors, originally ...

A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. The leg provided the largest gains when ...

Phantom Neuro is developing a muscle-machine interface that allows individuals – particularly those with limb loss or motor impairments – to intuitively control advanced robotic systems like ...

BEFORE HUGH Herr became a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), he was a promising rock climber. But after being trapped in a blizzard during a climb at age 17, he lost both ...

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have showcased a new type of bionic leg that can be plugged directly into the patient's brain. The prosthetic is surgically connected to ...

Part 1 of a three-part series unpacks how a researcher strives to improve performance by merging neuroscience and human motor control with robotics and artificial intelligence. The first objective is ...

A 12-year-old girl from Wakefield has become the youngest person in Europe to be fitted with a life-changing bionic hand, The i Paper can reveal. Amelia Harrison was born prematurely at just 25 weeks ...
