The combination of artificial intelligence and neuroscience allows a paralyzed man to manipulate a robotic arm by using his brain to imagine movements.

[Skyentific] is experimenting with this mechanism and built a 6-degree-of-freedom robotic arm with it. The mechanism doesn’t necessarily need the physical surfaces to roll across each other to ...

The result? A 3D-printed robotic arm he affectionately calls “ManiPilator.” This article is the first in a three-part series documenting [Leo]’s hands-on approach to learning robotics from ...

This story appears in the September 2017 issue of National Geographic magazine. One man, one robotic arm, dozens of electrodes—these are the elements of a breakthrough experiment that’s ...

For years, technologists have dreamed of outfitting homes with robots to handle chores like cleaning floors, loading dishwashers and even fetching a glass of water. While some of the tasks, such ...

How does a robotic arm or a prosthetic hand learn a complex task like grasping and rotating a ball? Researchers address the classic 'nature versus nurture' question. The research demonstrates that ...

A robotic arm capable of mimicking hand gestures through data analysis of the mechanical activity of the muscles, using wearable piezoelectric sensors was developed. Piezoelectric discs were placed in ...
