Now, researchers at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) and Imperial College London have unveiled a promising solution: a new soft prosthetic hand designed for more intuitive control.

Noninvasive brain technology enables control of robotic hands through thought alone, and Carnegie Mellon researchers achieved over 80% accuracy using EEG sensors.

A soft neuroprosthetic hand providing simultaneous myoelectric control and tactile feedback. Nature Biomedical Engineering, 2021; DOI: 10.1038/s41551-021-00767-0 ...

Jijo Malayil Tue, February 25, 2025 at 2:40 PM UTC 3 min read MagicLab has unveiled its first-generation dexterous hand, the MagicHand S01, boasting 11 degrees of freedom (DoF) in a single hand.

Building on a platform Meta developed to integrate sensors on a single robot hand, the upcoming Allegro Hand will feature control boards that encode data from the tactile sensors onto a host computer.

The team set up a program that switched between off, low, medium and high pressures, and as a result, the robot hand beat the first level of Super Mario Bros. in under 90 seconds.

Robotic hand prostheses require a controller to decode muscle contraction information, such as electromyogram (EMG) signals, into the user’s desired hand movement. State-of-the-art decoders demand ...
