Soft robotic prosthetic hand uses nerve signals for more natural control The approach combines the natural coordination patterns of our fingers with the decoding of motoneuron activity in the spinal ...

The word “bionic” conjures sci-fi visions of humans enhanced to superhuman levels. It’s true that engineering advances such as better motors and batteries, together with modern computing, mean that ...

Researchers at Cornell University have built two biohybrid robots that use the electrical signals of royal oyster mushrooms in response to their environment to control the robots. The scientists ...

Monkeys can control a robot arm as naturally as their own limbs using only brain signals, a pioneering experiment has shown. The macaque monkeys could reach and grasp with the same precision as their ...

Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple motion. Most, if not all, PLC manufacturers provide a way to control servos and steppers using a pulse train signal. So when a ...

If you've ever piloted a drone, you'll know that utilizing a joystick-style controller takes some getting used to. MIT scientists have developed what they claim is a more intuitive control system, ...

Researchers have succeeded in controllably propagating sound waves along the boundaries of topological metamaterials using a modulation technique that breaks time-reversal symmetry. This feat, which ...

A sensor that picks up nerve signals from the spinal cord could let people control a prosthetic arm by simply imagining the movement they want to make. In tests using the sensor, which has to be ...
