Indian Dance Mudras May Revolutionise Robotic Hand Control, UMBC Study Shows
Researchers are using classical Indian dance, especially Bharatanatyam mudras, to improve robotic hand dexterity. By analysing 30 structured mudras, scientists found they offer more versatile motion patterns than everyday grasps. These dance-derived synergies could enhance prosthetics, assistive robots, gesture-based rehabilitation and future human...

New Gel-Based Robotic Skin Feels Touch, Heat, and Damage Like Human Flesh
Scientists have created a groundbreaking gelatin-based robotic skin capable of sensing touch, heat, and physical damage like cuts or burns. Developed by a team including Dr. Thomas George Thuruthel from University College London, the skin uses a single conductive layer embedded with electrodes to detect and classify stimuli. It was tested through p...

Bionic Limbs Controlled by Brain Signals: A Leap Forward for Amputees
Recent advances in bionic limb technology have transformed prosthetics for amputees, enabling control through brain signals. A clinical trial demonstrated the agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI), which reconstructs muscle pairs to enhance control and perception. This approach allows for more natural movement and feedback, significantly imp...
