The world is edging closer to creating fully functional prosthetic limbs, with the first clinical bionic attachment connected directly to the nervous and skeletal systems, plus artificial intelligence, restoring around 80% of daily use to the user’s ha… Continue reading Groundbreaking bionic hand restores quality of life to amputee
The medical community has a lot of ways to see beneath our skin including MRIs, X-rays, and sonograms. Now, researchers at China’s Wuyi University have created a robotic finger that may offer another way to analyze our human form – by poking and proddi… Continue reading Super-sensitive bionic finger renders 3D images of what lies beneath
As long as the name of the Olympics holds some kind of international prestige, people and countries are going to do whatever it takes to grab those gold medals. But with technology developing at a rapidly accelerating pace, what does that going to mean… Continue reading What will the 2056 Olympics look like?
Although there have already been birds that received strap-on artificial legs, scientists are now reporting the first successful integration of a prosthetic foot directly into a stork’s residual leg bone. They’re describing the animal as the world’s fi… Continue reading Vulture said to be first bird to receive a permanent artificial foot
Scientists at Linköping University blur the line between robot and organism has they develop an artificial muscle that runs off of glucose and oxygen like its organic counterpart. Made of a special polymer, the new plastic muscles open the pr… Continue reading Artificial muscles run on glucose and oxygen, just like the real thing
Have you ever wondered why there aren’t more drones out there with bionic hands? Us neither, but here we are, looking at the “Drone for Handy” by Youbionics, which places a pair of fully operational bionic hands in the air, ready to grab at t… Continue reading Youbionics puts its bionic hands in the air with Drone for Handy
