Blue Arbor Technologies reported the first-in-human implant of its RESTORE External Sensing Unit and began Series A financing ...

Researchers have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the movement of the prosthetic limb and - for the first time - also ...

Blue Arbor Technologies today announced a partnership with Ottobock, anchored by a $5 million investment to advance ...

Researcher Helen Huang holds a robotic prosthetic leg. Huang and colleagues have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the ...

Your brain might be lying to you about your new robotic leg. New research shows that users often think they're walking much ...

Upper-limb amputees often struggle with everyday tasks due to their limited dexterity. The existing prosthetic hands often lack the fine motor skills and natural movement required for truly ...

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 ...

"When people first start walking with a prosthetic leg, they think their bodies are moving more awkwardly than they really are," says Helen Huang, corresponding author of a paper on the work. "With ...

The way we understand the movement of our own bodies plays an important role when learning physical skills, from sports to dancing. But a new study finds this phenomenon works very differently for ...

Advanced electronic sensors and circuitry combined with computer modeling and simulation are two of the leading technologies driving developments in robotic control technology for bringing specialized ...

"This is the first study to look at this phenomenon in people using lower-limb robotic prosthetics, and it raises a number of questions that should help us improve people's ability to walk with these ...
