How Bionics are Redefining the Future of Prosthetics Remember the bionic hand we saw Robert Downey Jr. adorning in Marvel Movie, Iron Man? Of course, that appeared exciting and fascinating but in the real world, for people who have lost their limbs; it is not as fascinating as it appeared in the movie. However, there is no denial that bionics technology has changed the scenario and people have heaved a sigh of relief. Now,… |

Prosthetic arms can provide controlled sensory feedback Losing an arm doesn’t have to mean losing all sense of touch, thanks to prosthetic arms that stimulate nerves with mild electrical feedback. Patient can perform everyday tasks with a sensory control module integrated with his prosthetic arm. Researchers from the University of Illinois developed a control algorithm that regulates the current, so a… |
