For the first time, a robot hand feels

A group of international scientists led by Lund University in Sweden has successfully developed a 'smart hand' that not only recreates the precise movements of the real hand but also helps users to regain be feeling.

Researched on a variety of technologies in the field of cognitive neuroscience (cognitive neuroscience), this hand consists of 4 motors and 40 sensors used to create movement and sensation.

'Smart hands' not only reproduce the precise movements of real hands but also help users get back


This is the first device of its kind that can transmit signals to the brain, allowing users to see the sensations in their fingers and hands.

With the use of impulses transmitted by the brain to truncated places through neurons, scientists can use these signals and transfer them to a mechanical device.

That makes the smart hand 'unique' because it takes advantage of the virtual hand syndrome (the feeling of the handicapped that the lost body part remains and thereby creates impulses) is available.

By connecting the sensors in the robotic hand to the nerve endings in the amputated hand sockets, the victims can feel and manipulate the smart hand.

This 10-year study is worth 1.8 million euros in collaboration with scientists from Italy, Denmark, Israel, Ireland and Iceland.
