Robotics (Bionic hands )

A new generation of prosthetic limbs that allow the wearer to reach for objects automatically , without thinking - just like real hand- are to be trailed for the first time .



The bionic hand is fitted with a camera which instantaneously takes a picture of the object in front of it , assesses its shape and size and triggers a series of movements in the hand.


Bypassing the usual processes which require the user to see the object, physically stimulate the muscles in the arm and trigger a movement in the prosthetic limb, the hand 'sees'

and react in one fluid movement.


Current prosthetic hands are controlled via myoelectric signals - that is electrical activity of the muscles recorded from the skin surface of the stump.
