Three high schoolers from Flower Mound, Texas, won a $50,000 scholarship at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair for designing and creating a mind-controlled robotic prosthetic leg ...

Thanks to major advances in artificial intelligence and robotics, scientists and manufacturers can now offer wearers of bionic limbs devices that redefine what it means to use a prosthesis. A couple ...

Part 2 of the TED Radio Hour episode Augmenting Humans. A new surgery maintains the sensation of limb control after an amputation. When paired with a bionic leg designed by MIT's Hugh Herr, amputees ...

Researcher Helen Huang holds a robotic prosthetic leg. Huang and colleagues have developed a new algorithm that combines two processes for personalizing robotic prosthetic devices to both optimize the ...

A team of scientists are getting closer to the holy grail of brain-powered prosthetics by developing the first advanced-movement prosthetic leg that communicates with the wearer’s mind. Zac Vawter, 31 ...
