Researchers in Wrocław develop bionic hand
Scientists from the Wrocław University of Science and Technology are completing work on a prototype bionic hand prosthesis for people with forearm amputations. The device is controlled with signals sent by muscles on the stump of the amputated limb, and artificial intelligence is used to analyse them.
