Artificial intelligence makes gripping more intuitive

- EN - DE

Current hand prostheses already work with the help of an app or sensors attached to the forearm. New research at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) shows this: A better understanding of muscle activity patterns enables more intuitive and natural control of the prostheses. This requires a network of 128 sensors and the use of artificial intelligence.

Different types of grippers and bionic design: technological developments have continuously improved hand prostheses in recent decades. Anyone who has lost a hand due to an accident or illness can at least perform some everyday movements again. Some modern prostheses can already be used to move the fingers or rotate the wrist. ...
