A robotic arm made from human tissue: Science advances toward living muscle prosthetics

The goal sounds like science fiction: to create a prosthetic that moves like a natural part of the body, can regenerate, and is built using the patient’s own cells. But it isn’t fiction — it’s a developing line of research in bioengineering. Ambitious and still years away from full realization, it is nonetheless tangible and making rapid progress. In February, the University of Tokyo, in collaboration with Waseda University, created an 18-centim…

Korean engineers show off ultra-light prosthetic hand

A Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) team has built a myoelectric prosthetic hand that keeps weight down by driving the thumb’s two degrees of freedom: flex/extend and adduct/abduct. One small actuator enables that functionality while a linkage-wire hybrid system gives the fingers both firm pinch strength and shape-adaptive grip. This single-actuator control for… The post Korean engineers show off ultra-light prosthetic hand with …
