3D printed soft robotic hand controlled by brain signals offers better interaction with the environment

#Soft robotics researchers at the University of Wollogong (UOW) in Australia have used 3D printing to build a realistic robotic hand that can be controlled by brain signals and which has a surface texture similar to human skin. Prosthetics arms are more advanced than ever, with engineers able to create devices that respond to brain signals, look like real human limbs, and are clever enough to perform even complex hand movements. It’s not often, however, that you get all those perks in one device…”
