Engineers at the University of Utah have given a bionic hand a mind of its own. By equipping a commercial prosthetic with pressure and proximity sensors and training an AI neural network on natural ...

SALT LAKE CITY — University of Utah engineers have given a bionic hand a mind of its own. Post-doctoral researcher Marshall Trout said a large percentage of amputees who get bionic hands — maybe 20% ...

Lead author Marshall Trout, right, worked with four amputees to investigate how AI could be used to autonomously control an advanced prothesis. The AI-powered prosthesis was capable of working ...

For the first time, a person with an arm amputation can manipulate each finger of a bionic hand as if it was his own. Thanks to revolutionary surgical and engineering advancements that seamlessly ...

Modern bionic hand prostheses nearly match their natural counterparts when it comes to dexterity, degrees of freedom, and capability. And many amputees who tried advanced bionic hands apparently ...
