Artificial hand able to respond sensitively using smart metal wires
Saarbrucken, Germany (SPX) Mar 30, 2015 - Engineers at Saarland University have taken a leaf out of nature's book by equipping an artificial hand with muscles made from shape-memory wire. The new technology enables the fabrication of flexible and lightweight robot hands for industrial applications and novel prosthetic devices. The muscle fibres are composed of bundles of ultrafine nickel-titanium alloy wires that are able to tense ... more
