Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa and EPF of Lausanne successfully tested the prototype on a 57-year-old patient who lost his right hand. The new frontiers
In the long journey towards the creation of humanoid robots, their “covering” is one of the most challenging objectives to achieve. In fact, human skin is so complex that it is considered a real organ. Its complexity makes it almost impossible for engineering to reproduce: it detects temperature, pressure and consistency. Not to mention its self-repair ability. Now researchers from the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne have created a new sensorized hand prosthesis, capable of providing realistic, real-time thermal feedback. The study was published in the journal Med (Cell Press). (FPL/Hillary Sanctuary)
