Researchers have developed a virtual robotic limb system which can be operated by users' feet in a virtual environment as extra, or supernumerary, limbs. After training, users reported feeling like ...

What would you do with an extra pair of hands? The idea might sound unwieldy, like too much of a good thing. But a new study suggests that people can in fact adapt to using additional robotic arms as ...

I asked one of the creators of the arms, Professor Masahiko Inami, to tell me more. This is a small copy of this movement. So physical computing to avoid collision. Also, it's very intuitive. It's ...

Tactile devices returned sensations from the virtual robotic arms to the tops and soles of their feet when they touched an object, like a virtual ball. Once the participants learned how to use the ...

Researchers have developed a robotic arm that can be controlled using gaze and the movement of the diaphragm during breathing. The arm, which is designed to be used as an extra limb rather than a ...

Scientists show that breathing may be used to control a wearable extra robotic arm in healthy individuals, without hindering control of other parts of the body. Neuroengineer Silvestro Micera develops ...

Neuroengineer Silvestro Micera develops advanced technological solutions to help people regain sensory and motor functions that have been lost due to traumatic events or neurological disorders. Until ...
