Amputees often feel disconnected from their bionic hands. AI could bridge the gap

Samoana Matagi was one of the four participants in a study that tested the capabilities of a new bionic hand. Here, Matagi wears the bionic hand on one arm and a common prosthetic called a body-powered hook on the other.

Sensors and artificial intelligence help a prosthetic hand act more like a natural one, new research shows.
