European scientists presented the prototype of an intelligent robotic prosthesis. The presented mechanical hand reproduces all of the movements of a natural hand, besides bringing the environmental sensations and the sense of the touch. The project, that it gathers researchers of universities and companies, plans to assist the amputated people’s [...]

Prostheses have always faced the problem of not finding the right material to be manufactured. The issue of the right material to manufacture prosthesis has bogged researchers for a very long time. Now, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have come up with a new method which allows them to use carbon nanotubes to stitch materials. [...]

Being a stroke victim has far reaching consequences. One of the worst is the inability to use limbs and hands and thus losing mobility. Long time stroke sufferers go though enormous emotional and physical trauma which can’t really be explained. However, there is some hope with the emerging robotic technology in the health field. A study conducted [...]
