This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in brain-machine interfaces. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...
Researchers demonstrated a magnet-based system that can track the location of muscles and could be used to help people control prosthetic limbs and other wearable robotic devices. Using a simple set ...
Whether you want to build a computer interface device, or control a prosthetic hand, having some idea of a user’s finger movements can be useful. The OpenMuscle finger tracking sensor can offer the ...

Illustration of left eyelid attached to an electroactive polymer artificial muscle (EPAM) device after passing through an interpolation unit that is implanted in the lateral orbital wall. The power ...
If you lose your hand in an accident, a prosthetic could cost well over US$10,000. But 3D printing holds out the promise of making simple replacement hands available for far less. In a closet-sized ...
An engineer from the University of Houston has received a $500,000 CAREER award from the National Science Foundation to develop artificial muscle and tendons for dexterous, compliant and affordable ...
