A new 3D-printed prosthetic hand can learn the wearers’ movement patterns to help amputee patients perform daily tasks, reports a study published this week in Science Robotics. Losing a limb, either ...

A prototype 3D-printed myoelectric prosthetic hand developed in Japan successfully passed a test by an upper-arm amputee, performing a series of intricate finger motions with more than 90% accuracy.

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...
