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 ...

A 12-year-old girl from Wakefield has become the youngest person in Europe to be fitted with a life-changing bionic hand, The i Paper can reveal. Amelia Harrison was born prematurely at just 25 weeks ...

Meet four CMU-affiliated startups that are translating academic research into tools that could improve health care for millions of Americans.

Your brain might be lying to you about your new robotic leg. New research shows that users often think they're walking much better—or worse—than they actually are.

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 ...

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 ...
