  • Scientists from John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland unveiled in journal Science Advances on March 5 a new type of bionic hand that can adjust its grip while holding objects just like a human hand.

Scientists at Johns Hopkins University have developed a groundbreaking bionic hand that not only mimics the appearance of a human hand but also replicates its functionality, including the ability to feel and grip objects. This innovative prosthetic integrates advanced sensors and artificial intelligence to provide sensory feedback to the user, allowing for a more natural interaction with the environment. The bionic hand can sense pressure, texture, and even temperature, transmitting this information back to the user's nervous system, which significantly enhances the user's ability to perform delicate tasks and improves the overall quality of life for amputees. This technology represents a significant leap forward in the field of prosthetics, aiming to restore not just the physical capabilities but also the sensory experiences of those who have lost limbs.
