“That’s what we want our prosthetic hand to achieve. “This is new territory for robotics and prosthetics, which haven’t fully embraced this hybrid technology before. “It’s being able ...

“Right now, a lot of prosthetics are static, but imagine if they had animatronics or soft robotics built in — like a dress that breathes or a tail that sways,” she mused. “Fashion should ...

The latest advance in wearable robotic technology promises to solve a 200-year-old problem by revolutionizing the fit of prosthetic limbs, transforming the lives of millions of amputees worldwide.

Now, a team at Johns Hopkins University has recreated these perks in a life-like prosthetic robot hand. At its core is a 3D-printed skeleton. Each finger has three independently controlled joints made ...

Prosthetic hands can cost thousands of dollars. Steven Reimer ’24 designed one for less than $300. His research will provide ...

To tackle this issue, Sriramana Sankar at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, and his colleagues developed a prosthetic hand that unites a rigid internal skeleton with soft robotic ...
