Magnetic Bead Implants Give Robotic Prosthetics Real Time Muscle Tracking

Three human amputees have successfully tested an implantable magnetic tracking system that measures muscle movements in real time. The study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, published in the journal Nature Sensors, offers a new physical interface for robotics controllers that guide advanced prosthetic limbs.

Bionic contact lenses are a reality

A team of researchers from the University of San Diego have developed an innovative technology at the base of a contact lens that replicates eye movements thanks to the special elastic film that adapts well to the electrical stimuli of the brain that control the eye mechanism.
