Bioengineered robotic hand will sense touch

14-Nov-2017

Key points from article :

Sophisticated prostheses can mimic almost every hand motion.

But remain unnatural for the user as they lack tactile feedback.

Bioengineered robotic hand will grow and adapt to its environment.

Will have its own peripheral nervous system linking sensors and actuators.

Creating a living pathway from the robot's touch sensation to the user's brain.
