Researchers create prosthetic hand that offers more lifelike dexterity

Most available prosthetics use electromyogram (EMG) sensors to translate muscle movement where the limb was removed to hand and finger motions. But those types of sensors are pretty limited in what they can do. “EMG sensors aren’t very accurate,” Gil Weinberg, the professor leading the project, said in a statement. “They can detect a muscle movement, but the signal is too noisy to infer which
