Prosthetic Limb Innovation

With the advanced bionic hand she now possesses, Karin can successfully perform approximately 80 percent of her typical daily activities.

Researchers have developed a new pressure sensing technology for robotics systems that could one day help transform prosthetics and robotic limbs. The new project to create innovative sensors for use in robotic systems, with accurate pressure sensors capable of delivering more tactile ability to allow robots to function to their full capacity.

Singapore researchers have developed "electronic skin" capable of recreating a sense of touch, an innovation they hope will allow people with prosthetic limbs to detect objects, as well as feel texture, or even temperature and pain

The IKO Creative Prosthetic System, created by Colombian designer Carlos Torres, is compatible with Lego parts and can be customised with different shapes, colours and accessories.
