» The new robotic hand builds on prior research to provide
tactile touch sensations that connect to the user’s brain,
giving them the ability to not only “feel” elements but also
to understand pressure changes and interpret information
from different materials and objects they interact with.
These types of advancements could ultimately lead to
superior body parts—bionic prosthetics that can withstand
high temperatures, apply considerably more force and
demonstrate finer and more controlled movements, all while
providing feedback that feels like that of a real limb.
