The CogLaboration project focuses on the object transfer procedure between a robot and a human, considered to be a key aspect to be addressed in order to provide successful and efficient robotic assistance to humans.
Prensilia's Bionic hand allows amputees to 'feel'
19/Feb/2013
Researchers at the Translational Neural Engineering Laboratory (TNE) at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne are to fit an unnamed man in his 20's with a 'revolutionary' bionic hand that allows amputees to feel what they are touching. The IH2 Azzurra Hand, created by Italian firm Prensilia, is designed to connect to the human nervous system, allowing the wearer to control its movement as well as received tactile signals. Prensilia's hand is currently used in coglabortion's project.
