The journey of a prosthetic user is characterized by the opportunities and the limitations of a
device that should enable activities of daily living (ADL). In particular, experiencing a bionic …

The desire for functional replacement of a missing hand is an ancient one. Historically,
humans have replaced a missing limb with a prosthesis for cosmetic, vocational, or personal …

Neuroprosthetic hands are typically heavy (over 400 g) and expensive (more than US
$10,000), and lack the compliance and tactile feedback of human hands. Here, we report the …

Replacing the human hand with artificial devices of equal capability and effectiveness is a
long-standing challenge. Even the most advanced hand prostheses, which have several …

Development and implementation of neuroprosthetic hands is a multidisciplinary field at the
interface between humans and artificial robotic systems, which aims at replacing the …

Soft robotic hands with monolithic structure have shown great potential to be used as
prostheses due to their advantages to yield light weight and compact designs as well as its …

Loss of tactile sensations is a major roadblock preventing upper limb-absent people from
multitasking or using the full dexterity of their prosthetic hands. With current myoelectric …

Restoring hand function in individuals with upper limb loss is a challenging task, made
difficult by the complexity of human hands from both a functional and sensory point of view …

Soft robotics have broken the rigid wall of interaction between humans and robots due to
their own definition and manufacturing principles, allowing robotic systems to adapt to …

Haptic and proprioceptive feedback is critical for sensorimotor integration when we use our
hand to perform daily tasks. Here, we evaluated how externally evoked haptic and …
